It is needless to say that you will find delicious pasta here and stay in a cosy environment created by a nice mix of Italian and Swiss influences.

Day 8 : Valle Verzasca and Valle Maggia

In need of a nice hike? Then Valle Verzasca and Valle Maggia are highly recommended. Walk through a fairytale landscape with ancient bridges and villages, in valleys where time seems to have stood still. Or bring a visit to the Bellinzona Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
