The village of Ronco sopra Ascona is located between Ascona and Brissago and is accessible by bus or car. The marked white-red-white route starts with a climb on steep steps between villas and gardens. Through the chestnut forest, the path leads to Non, Parcassone, and Porera. The route between the little church of Parcassone and Porera is rather bare due to a forest fire a few years ago. A long curve on Alpe Casone leads to the Corona di Pinz. Just a short portion on the ridge and you have already arrived. The panorama of the lake, the Maggia delta, and the surrounding mountain ranges is fantastic. You return to the path and continue towards Cortone (above Arcegno). Crossing the beautiful landscape of the Val Brima, you descend towards Nervone and return to the starting point, Ronco sopra Ascona, where you can take the bus.
