Trail Reviews
Beautiful hike through deciduous forest. Shared, leafy paths/trails for bikers and hikers. At the summit we were rewarded with a wonderful view of Lake Lugano and a distant view of the Ticino and Valais mountains.
Truly a beautiful excursion, altitude difference not to be underestimated, the climb is steep and I consider hiking boots indispensable. Poles are now a necessity for me. Worth it, all in the shade. The return, at the beginning, a bit boring since it goes down the ski slope. Every now and then the artificial intelligence has made mistakes!
