Chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli, Monte Tamaro, Ticino
 
Start the hike from Monte Tamaro to Monte Lema to the chiming of the bell of the Santa Maria degli Angeli church - one of Mario Botta's masterpieces.


The cable car swings right up to this modern chapel - a mystical creation by the architect Mario Botta paying tribute to the greatness of the landscape in which it is set. Set out on the 4 1/2 hour high level trail to Monte Lema (1,624m), and enjoy stunning views of the southern Ticino right to the Matterhorn.
