Not many mountain lakes are just a few steps from the cable car; Daubensee is one of them and it is definitely worth visiting it. The view is amazing and changes every 50m along the loop around the lake. The reflection of the mountains on the water is incredible and there are many spots for nice pics. Therefore, consider more than 2 hours to complete the loop, especially if there is snow on the path. And take some food with you, so you can have a pic-nic with a view, and what a view!

We first discovered this valley on a hike from Muottas Muragl on the “gastronomic trail” and fell in love with this picturesque valley with views of glacier covered peaks, cattle, llamas, goats and sheep and the sounds of cowbells and mountain streams. The first time we walked on the marked Trails on either side of the valley. The second time we decided just to walk along the road to be in the floor of the valley which by the way is quite a bit shorter than the trails up on the side of the mountains. The trail to the Val Fex runs right by our hotel in the entire trail was absolutely beautiful.

Leaving from Capolago-Riva San Vitale railway station, by Lake Lugano, you'll soon reach the steep slopes of Monte Generoso and its enchanting mountain train which opened in 1890. After an enchanting forty minute journey through the unspoilt natural landscape, you reach the base of the summit (1704m). From this point you can enjoy one of the most thrilling 360° panoramas anywhere in Switzerland. The view of the Alps is unique, and gives you a wonderful 'birds eye view' across the north of Italy, the Lakes region and the alpine chain.Follow the circular trail to discover the ten or so "nevere", ancient versions of our modern fridges. These fascinating cylindrical stone buildings were built by the farming communities to preserve their milk before making it into butter and cheese. This little concentration of these remarkable structures is unparalleled anywhere else in Switzerland. From the station at the top, you can also follow the path along the eastern ridge which arrives firstly at the Nadigh alpage and, shortly after, through a pretty level section flanked by limestone slabs from the local quarries, the Genor alpage. Immediately after, the trail heads gently back up to the railway station, from where you can take the little train again once again to descend to Capolago.

ViaStockalper – The attraction of opposites Times were hard, the roads dangerous. Three centuries ago Kaspar Stockalper, the «King of the Simplon», seized the chance to improve the old mule track over the Simplon Pass, thereby laying the foundation of his huge trading empire. The contrasts of the ViaStockalper give it its special appeal: north of the pass it crosses the lonely Taferna valley, while to the south it goes through the wild Gondo gorge. And all along the way many of Stockalper's monumental buildings still stand.
