Lakes of Chièra (Ticino, Switzerland)

An easy hike in the magnificent alpine environment of the Chièra Lakes, located under the Sole Peak and Pettine Peak in the Leventina Valley. The marshland located near the Chièra Alp is considered a unique area of its kind due to the presence of particular flora and fauna and rock smoothed by glaciers. The nearby snowfields feed into it and the water of the Chièra Alto is 7 times more extensive than the lower one. Only a few steps separate the two lakes but it‘s enough to give each lake its own particular characteristics.
