June 12, 2023,Valle Maggia von Tenga 😄
A slightly shorter tour with fewer meters of altitude today for relaxation 😄.
From Tenga we went to the Maggia Valley. You can park cheaply at the train station in Tenga 👍. They are all nice, easy paths that can be mastered with a bit of sure-footedness. If you want, you can still swim at the "beach" in Tenga 👍

A beautiful walk along the Maggia. You don't need to be in great shape and the paths are easy to walk

The path should not be underestimated despite a lot of shade 😅. Good footwear required as the trail is very rocky/rocky and always up and down. One spot is a bit exposed and requires a head for heights. I personally like the bottom part best.

It was supposed to be a small round trip with very little elevation gain. Especially since today on Sunday, with the forecast 32 degrees, it is always a bit "noisy". The outward journey and the first few kilometers were interesting, as the Swiss Triathlon Championships were taking place in Ascona and in the Maggia Valley today. Respect to the athletes. …

Tip 2: At half-time, after crossing the Maggia, very good grotto (grotto valmaggese

Another beautiful hike. Perfect weather and—surprisingly for this area—a free parking lot to start from. Even with restrooms. Very nice 😉 If it were a bit warmer, you could also lie on the sandy beach and jump into the ice-cold water. We refrained from doing the latter, but there were actually places where people weren't just lying on the beach, …

In February and March, one advantage of hiking is that you can almost always find a good parking spot.

The disadvantage is that many small restaurants are closed until the end of March.

The first part of our hike takes us partly directly along the Maggia River, which is teeming with swimmers in the summer.
