Centres of energy in the Valle Onsernone
Ascona-Locarno Tourism Verified partner
Explanation
The most significant in Comologno are the church of San Giovanni Battista and the Via Crucis; the latter is a truly energising pilgrimage.
Ligünc, a rural village on a wide natural terrace, is home to a number of cup-marked stones that are thought to have once been used for stargazing. Most of these can be found just before the centre of the village, on the left, near a small rocky promontory.
Further on, the route continues into a dense forest of larch and fir trees that envelops you in its scent and protects you from the sun almost as far as the Alpe Salei. From here, the Pizzo Zucchero, a stunning centre of energy, is just a few minutes away. You may be interested to know that of the two peaks the right-hand one has the most energy and the small depression in the middle is a beneficial geomantic location, probably already recognised as such in the Celtic age. Try to look at the arrangement of the stones.
Next you’ll reach the Salei lake, the most important centre of energy in the Valle Onsernone. Here, on the right, if you look carefully you will see some cup-marked stones (always significant evidence of practices and rituals), but the whole area around the lake has a beautiful energy, particularly popular with those who practise meditation here. Take the chance to be surprised.
Finally, continue towards the Alpe Pesced, where you’ll find yet more interesting energy rocks.
