Altanca

Highlight • Settlement

Small and quiet village high above the Leventina. At the family-run Agriturismo Altanca you can fortify yourself with delicacies such as homemade cheese and also spend the night. The church standing on the precipice is also worth a visit.

Lake Ritom

Highlight • Lake

A circumnavigation of the lake is very easy to do, the north bank is a gravel road and there is a great single trail opposite. The route can also be combined with a detour to Lago Cadagno or Lago Tom.
