Tour to Mt. Zucchero in the Verzasca Valley

Among the highlights of Ticino is the wild and romantic Verzasca Valley, with the famous Ponte dei Salti stone arch bridge of Lavertezzo, the rustic houses in Sonogno, and the many hikes along the river, across alpine pastures, or steeply up to one of the panoramic peaks.

On a weekend tour from Brione through the Osuro Valley, a side valley of Verzasca, with an overnight stay in the rustic Alpe Sambuco hut, a panoramic view of the snow-capped Valais mountains from the summit of Monte Zucchero, and returning via Sonogno, we experience the wild and remote side of Ticino.
