Piumogna Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall of Piumognas is 43 meters high, one of the most spectacular of Ticino! For nature lovers an unmissable attraction, even if you only have a few hours in the Leventina Valley. It is within easy walking distance, free parking is available nearby. The suspension bridge over the stream gives the powerful waterfall its name, visitors can watch from here this natural spectacle of rare beauty.

For a cozy break in the countryside there is a picnic area with tables. If you want to stretch your legs, you will explore the mountain along the trail and find other impressive waterfalls. The source of the torrent, on the other hand, can only be reached by means of demanding mountain climbs and is thus reserved for experienced mountain climbers. They will be pleased to have the opportunity to rest in the Campo Tencia hut. The torrent of Piumogna rises from a small mountain lake, only the size of a room, and is located 2'482 m above sea level.

Piottino Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Ticino River flows through the Piottino Gorge and separates the Alta Leventina from the Media Leventina with a height difference of around 150 meters.

The gorge has always been a major obstacle on the Gotthard road as it is very narrow and surrounded by high rocks. It was not until the end of the 14th century that a mule track ran through the gorge. The Gotthard Railway Company built the two spiral tunnels Freggio and Prato to overcome the height difference caused by the Piottino Gorge.

Nufenen Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Nufenen Pass is at an altitude of 2,480 meters, making it the highest Alpine pass in Switzerland. Among cyclists it is considered one of the toughest. The restaurant is particularly interesting for hikers, where they can have a bite to eat and the brilliant view of the Griesgletscher.
