The energetic places of Monte Gambarogno

The Neggia Alp is located in the Gambarogno region at 1395m altitude and can be reached by bus no. 326 from Magadino or by private transport. From here, you climb up to the summit of Monte Gambarogno. There are two paths: one is shorter and direct, taking 45 minutes to the summit passing through meadows and pastures and is suitable for families. The other, called the panoramic trail and recommended by local hikers, lasts 1 hour. It starts a few meters to the right of the direct path and, although at first it resembles more of a dirt road, it soon is marked in white-red like medium difficulty hiking trails. Because it passes along the right side of the mountain, it offers an extraordinary panoramic view of Lake Maggiore. Due to some exposed and steep sections, the panoramic route is not suitable for small children.

The excursion passes by the large metal cross of Monte Gambarogno (1687m) and after a few minutes reaches the actual summit of the mountain (1734m). From the summit, it continues downhill, crossing the beech forest of Muda before arriving at the Cedullo Alp (1287m) in less than an hour. From this beautiful alp to the clearing of the church of Sant’Anna (1342m) there are only 5 to 10 minutes left to walk.

From Sant’Anna, the picturesque village of Indemini (979m) can be reached in 45 minutes, passing through beautiful woods, by noteworthy rock formations, and walking trails from which the gaze rests on the beautiful valley below. With the bus or private transport from Indemini, one can return to everyday life.
