Day one of the extended Ticino Weekend,
Today the sun was a bit moody, sometimes really beautiful, sometimes overcast, but the final climb to the hotel was garnished with a beautiful sunset 😍
Gerold is traveling today, hopefully another nice tour tomorrow...

October 16, 2021,Tesserete - Monte Bar - Paso San Lucio - Pairolo - Teserte

Arrival at night Tesserete about 2h45 Parked at the bus station. Inexpensive food in the Capanna San Lucio on the Italian side. Ascent to Monte Bar approx. 2 - 2.5 hours. Chestnuts 🌰 cake is great there. In Ticino, of course, a gazzosa is one of them.
