Can I cycle from Brig in Switzerland across Simplon pass to Lago Maggiore Italy?
Google map seems to say I can cycle from Brig to the Zwischbergen (Italian border). Is this correct because the route does seem to go along the road E62?
What about the part from the border to Lago Maggiore. Is it possible to cycle that route?
Here pictures from Google maps.
