Follow me on this hike on the mild mountains of Ticino, the Italian (and sunny) side of Switzerland

Spy the lago Maggiore from the top of “Cima della Trosa“

Walk easy down to Alpe di Bietri

To reach the place where fields of wild ferns

cover the whole east side of the mountain.

Time to walk through the dark beech woods

to finally reach the sun again on Alpe Cardada
