The functional self-service restaurant Ostello Vetta with its panoramic terrace is the ideal place to enjoy popular Ticino specialties and the wonderful panorama from the summit of Monte Lema. The cozy mountain inn also offers overnight accommodation.

Breathtaking, beautiful, I love paths like this... If only it weren't for the weather. The massif with the two highest peaks was covered in dark clouds the whole time. I was mostly just walking under the cloud cover anyway, with beautiful moments every now and then.
The path is quite challenging and you have to be sure-footed, as there are …
