Tegna-Colma-Streccia-Verscio

The hike starts at Tegna, reachable by car or with the Centovallina (Locarno-Domodossola train). From Tegna, the relatively steep but easily walkable trail leads to the panoramic viewpoint of Colma. At Forcola, it is worth making a short detour to the prehistoric ruins of Castelliere, whose restoration was completed in 2018. At Colma, a terrace and a small chapel invite you to take a break to enjoy the extraordinary view of Centovalli and Lake Maggiore. In the forest, the trail gently descends to Streccia, with a view over Vallemaggia. Like a fairy tale, you walk an ancient mule track that passes over a small stone bridge and crosses the wild wooded valley along the stream “Ri da Riei” towards Riei. The further descent towards Verscio, from where the Centovallina passes, is quite steep.
