Hike doable in any season along the Maggia river. Discover the fauna and flora of the Vallemaggia.
At Maggia, descend to the eponymous river beyond the suspension bridge. Immediately to the right, follow the drivable road uphill to Pii, where you take an elevated hiking trail.
In the chestnut grove, you encounter rustic houses amid short up and downs to Lodano, on the paved road and then through vineyards to the river. On the trail near the river, you pass a first pedestrian crossing (Giumaglio) and then a second leading to Someo, after which you turn right into the forest. Here is a wooden footbridge with informational panels about the floodplain landscape along the riverbank, including a grilling station with tables and benches.
From Someo, the road winds through the villages of Giumaglio and Coglio to Lodano (only partly a hiking trail). At the start of the bridge, take the trail on the left to Maggia through the forest and the protected nature reserve (check the schedule to and from Maggia). It is already possible to return by bus from Someo.
