Very varied circular hike through beautiful mountain villages and on panoramic paths with great views. However, it is recommended to start in Unchio, so that you start and end almost at the lowest point

Tour through four villages. No matter how small the place, each one has its own church. There are numerous wayside chapels along the way. The path of the crucifixion is shown on several signs along the route. Some stations are not so well preserved. It's crazy how time seems to stand still in the villages. There is still a washhouse …

We passed a great waterfall and some beautiful …

March 30, 2024,Hike around the Roman Bridges at Cossogno

This hike is a small roundtrip around the river San Bernardino. Highlights on this hike are two nice chapels with resting areas around them and the Roman bridge close to Cossogno. A lot of the trails are loose big cobblestones which can get slippery.

On this beautiful route, navigation with the Komot app is very advisable. There are many branches to inconspicuous paths on the route that you would otherwise not find.
