About
A 65 km loop through the Swiss Alps, five stages of valleys and alpine meadows. The Trekking dei Laghetti connects Fusio, Mogno, Cevio, and Bedretto, where streams murmur and mountain air sharpens the senses.
At Mario Botta’s church, the landscape shifts; the rugged peaks rise like ancient sentinels. With a total elevation gain of 9,013 metres, this route is beginner-friendly yet rich in cultural heritage.
