Cardada Cimetta – a mountain waiting to be discovered

Locarno

Have you ever stopped to think that right above Locarno there is a panoramic viewpoint that's very easy to reach, which offers spectacular sights from the lowest point above sea level in Switzerland, the river Maggia's delta in Ascona, right up to the summit of Monte Rosa, the highest in the whole country?

The cable-car from Orselina takes you up to Cardada (1340m) in just a few minutes, where you can access the chair lift right up to Cimetta at 1670m. This little oasis of peace and nature offers an unforgettable 360° panorama over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding valleys.

More active visitors can try the foot-massaging walkway, an orienteering route, the circular mountain-bike track or one of the official Helsana nordic walking trails.

Families with kids are guaranteed a good time in the indian village, in the play areas or whilst strolling around the shaded play path. In the five restaurants and huts on the mountain, you can find lots of tasty traditional dishes from Ticino.
