Distant views of Valais from Mt. Zucchero

After an overnight stay at the Alpe Sambuco hut, it’s not much further to the summit of the 2,735 m high Monte Zucchero in Val Verzasca, Ticino. From there, the mountains of Valais seem close enough to touch. The mountain range in the foreground drops down into the Maggia Valley, behind which you can see the Valle di Bosco and Vergeletto as well as the mountains north of Domodossola on Italian territory.
