Piora & Cadlimo - 10 Lakes Hike (Ticino, Switzerland)

The Alpine landscape of the Piora Valley, rich in green pastures in bloom with scattered little lakes, is one of the most idyllic in Ticino. The flora and fauna of these vast and silent spaces are of great interest. It is still possible to encounter eagles, chamois, roe deer, groundhogs, red frogs and admire the beautiful blossoming of gentians, buttercups, arnica and wild orchids. You can get there with one of Europe's steepest funiculars that leaves from Piotta. Extremely numerous are the signposted trails that cross the region and are of various difficulty and length. We recommend two of them.

Lakes: Ritom, Cadagno, di Dentro (2), della Miniera, dell'Isra, dello Stabbio, Scuro, Taneda, Tom
