    Our starting point is Intragna, reachable by the Centovallina (Locarno-Domodossola train). A visit to the village is a must, especially since it features the tallest bell tower in Ticino (65 m) and the Regional Museum of Centovalli and Pedemonte. From Pila, the trail leads through magnificent chestnut and beech woods to Cremaso di Sotto and then to Calascio. Here, the landscape opens up and a charming chapel stands on a panoramic hill. In spring, the gentians bloom and the area turns blue. On a more challenging path, the hike continues towards Frescheina before descending to Pign, where ruins of a farmhouse can be seen. Further down, the Isorno river is crossed before the final ascent to Mosogno, where the bus passes by (check bus schedules).

    Attention: the Intragna-Pila-Costa cable car is out of service until further notice due to renovation work. Information is available on the website www.ascona-locarno.com/funivia-intragna or at our information desks.
