Monte Ferraro
Back to some hikiing after my accident! A soft stroll was what I needed, so Monte Ferraro was the ideal option. I had been here 8 years ago, in a peculiar January with very little snow. This diminutive summit stands somewhat isolated, so the view from the summit is quite beautiful. Not on a cloudy day as mine! Kick-off is from...

Mataron
Mataron is a shapeless hump placed nearby Denti della Vecchia and Cima di Foiorina. We are therefore in the lovely Val Colla, just a blink outside Lugano. Going up from Cimadera is nothing more than short walk, pleasant, devoid of any difficulty whatsoever, highly rewarding. The way up is really straight forward, practically you...

Cima di Medeglia
Not one of the most glamorous hiking destinations, ascending to Cima di Medeglia nevertheless rewards you with a stunning view. I had been up here seven years ago, but under completely different conditions. This winter 2019/2020 has been (so far) pretty much mild, so the hike went along without finding any snow at all. As...

Monte Lema
Monte Lema is an extremely popular hiking destination, as alone or in combination with other peaks in the area. I had already reached this summit four times, always via the most easy route, an insignificant stroll from Alpe Pradecolo. Now, having been recently enrolled in the fearsome Pampers Division, I’ve been away from hiking...

Monte San Giorgio, a stroll
Going up to Monte San Giorgio is nothing more than a comfortable walk, however you decide to take it. Fame to this mountain arrived in 2003, when it became a Unesco site thanks to the outstanding prehistoric (Triassic) findings. Having in mind the report by paoloski (and with today’s limited available time), we chose to start...

Monte Bar & Caval Drossa... ever windy!
Hi there! So, this is just a stroll, an easy walk maybe not deserving to be reported, but still there are points of interest to talk about. First of all this hike offers magnificent all-round views. Then, if you do not wish a crowd extravaganza, you may choose some ascending options providing a more relaxed atmosphere. And, yes, I...

Caval Drossa
Caval Drossa is a diminutive peak located close to Lugano, but dwarfed by the far more visited Monte Bar. The combination of including both peaks in a unique hike is quite popular. For personal reasons I have not considered returning to Monte Bar (reached in December 2008, ages ago!). Therefore the brief tour up to Caval Drossa...

Pizzo di Corgella
Pizzo di Corgella is a minor peak neighboured (and dwarfed) by the far more glamorous Camoghè. Nevertheless it offers an exceptionally vast view over a large portion of the Tessin Alps (well, provided weather assists conveniently, which was not entirely our case) and therefore deserves a visit. You drive up the charming Valle...
