Robièi: Crystal-clear lakes in primeval primary rock
San Carlo
Select your Region:
Crystal clear, turquoise-green or ice-blue lakes in a majestic High Alpine world, surrounded by granite massifs and glaciers - on Robièi this world is even accessible to hikers without Alpine experience.
From the last stop of the cableway, at 1940 meters above sea level, well constructed paths lead to reservoir lakes small and large, situated at the foot of Basodino, one of Tessin's most beautiful Alpine summits. And it's not just lakes and glacier meltwater glittering against granite in the sun, it's also crystals: Robièi is renowned for its wealth of minerals.
