Corte Nuovo - Monte Comino (Ticino, Switzerland)

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Top AirVuz contributor Kpax earned a Drone Video of the Week Finalist spot for this excellent drone video from Switzerland. The video was filmed around the mountain sanctuary of Corte Nuovo in the Monte Comino region of Ticino, one of the principal southern (Italian-speaking) cantons. It's not far from the northern arm of Lake Maggiore, on the Swiss-Italian border. The shelter, which was built on the ruins of an older structure, sits at an altitude of just under 5.4k ft. above sea level (around 1.6k m).

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

It is located, at 1635 m above sea level, on the ridge that forms the watershed between Onsernone and Centovalli. Built on the ruins of an old hut of the homonymous mountain pasture, it was inaugurated on 29 July 2017 and can be reached from both sides after a couple of hours of walking. It is a transit destination for those wishing to climb Pizzo Ruscada, but also a popular stopping point, both for hikers who have planned trekking for a few days, to or from other Ticino regions or the nearby Vigezzo Valley, and for those who choose to stop and admire the wonderful panorama that sweeps from the banks of the Verbano to the multitude of mountains in the region.
