Evening sun in the Ticino mountains

The Ticino mountains in the southern tip of Switzerland are particularly characterised by the contrast between steep mountain ranges and long, narrow valleys. Besides the Basodino (3,272 m) or the P. Campo Tencia (3,038 m), the landscape is dominated by summit regions over 2,000 m, which become gentler and lower towards the south. There, you’re increasingly spoilt for choice between many enticing valleys and the surrounding mountains, such as the Centovalli, Onsernone, Maggia or Verzasca Valley. I enjoyed the view above during a stay at Alpe Sambuco in Val d’Osura, a side valley of Val Verzasca.
