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.
