Rivera


This hike has been on our wish list for 3 years, but for one reason or another we’ve always had to cancel it. Let’s try once again!

On the Swiss National Day, 1 August we’ll be travelling to Ticino for a great ridge-hike from Monte Tamaro to Monte Lema, inshallah. This hike offers amazing views of the cities, towns and lakes below, and even into Italy.
