Product Description
Review
'Ticino is the eastern region of Switzerland near the Italian border, little known by the British yet readily accessible from Locarno. Kev Reynolds writes with such affection and infectious enthusiasm for this most tranquil of Alpine regions, with its granite peaks, wooded valleys and lost villages, that readers will be unable to resist planning a visit at the next opportunity.'(High)
Product Description
The Ticino Alps of southern Switzerland, best known for the lakeside resorts of Locarno and Lugano, provide some of the finest uncrowded paths of all the alpine regions. Away from the main valleys secretive inner glens reveal 'lost' alp hamlets, crystal rivers and tarns, and long feathery cascades. Granite peaks form a dramatic backdrop to every outing. High passes lure the adventurous, belvedere trails surprise with their vast panoramas, and in the valleys there's an air of soft enchantment among the chestnut woods. Remote mountain huts offer accommodation for walkers in the high country, while valley based lodging is provided for in attractive Italian-style villages bright with flower-decked balconies. The guide describes all the valleys and villages, takes you to the finest viewpoints and suggests 75 of the best walks to be enjoyed in the Alps of Ticino.
