What you'll do
This itinerary is perfect for you if you want to do some hikes and don't just want to see the hotspots.
You should bring hiking boots here and always take enough food and drink with you. There are also restaurants in some places, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money on food, you should pack something.
Day 1
If you are traveling from Germany via Zurich, this would be the perfect way to start your trip. The hike is relatively long, so you should plan for some time, but you can also spend the night in accommodation up by the lake and start your return journey the next day.

Lago di Cadagno
Escursione
Magical lakes hike
This is a beautiful hike where you will see several mountain lakes with a beautiful mountain village. I have been there at the beginning of June and there was still snow. It's even better when the snow is melted and everything is green (probably at the end of June).
The hike is 13.6km long when you use for the first and steepest part the funicular (which I would recommend, otherwise it will be a lot longer).
The Lake Cadagno is a really special and mysterious lake --> if you want to know why this is, you should check this webpage
There is also a restaurant (Ristoro Taneda) at the Lago di Cadagno and a mountain hut where you can sleep and eat as well (Capanna Cadagno). If you want you can also buy some homemade cheese here: (cheese shop).
