Experience the Strada Alta
Panoramic views over the Leventina Valley
The Strada Alta runs high above the valley and offers spectacular views of the mountains time and again. The wide horizons that open up around every bend are particularly impressive - a delight for anyone who enjoys photography or simply being amazed.
Historic paths and charming villages
The route runs along old mule tracks that were once trade routes. Along the way, small villages such as Osco and Anzonico invite you to take a break. Here you can feel the history and experience the typical Ticino building culture at first hand.
Moments of pleasure along the way
If you want to treat yourself to a culinary break, you will find cozy grotti and inns along the Strada Alta. A plate of polenta or a glass of Merlot will make the hike unforgettable, not only in terms of the scenery but also the taste.
