High above the Leventina valley

Autumnal walks in Switzerland – Pleasant walk along the Strada alta from Airolo to Osco

Flower-strewn meadows, bubbling mountain streams and pretty villages are the main features of the steep left-hand side of the upper Leventina valley. From above, the gigantic man-made structures of the road and railway are fascinating. No less impressive is the mountain world of the Leventina.
