A glass of wine, some alpine cheese, sun and plenty of time - on the Ritom, the funicular railway is the means, and the Ticinese mountain hut the goal.

From Piotta, take one of the world's steepest funiculars to the Ritom reservoir at 1,800m in a beautiful setting. Spend a while on one of the terraces of the picturesque grottos or mountain huts - try, for example, the wonderful "polenta brasato" served with legendary Piora cheese in the Capanna Cadagno mountain hut. Who wants to walk, when sitting is so much fun?
