    Wir haben die Tour heute wie angegeben von unserem Hotel Casa Berno aus unternommen. Am Ende waren es 5,5h und 1200 Höhenmeter. Im Aufstieg ist die Wegführung durch umgestürzte Bäume bzw Sturmschäden etwas anders. Der Blick vom Gipfel entschädigt für die Anstreng6ngen. Unterwegs konnten wir zum Glück auch Wasser nachfüllen. Der Abstieg verläuft auf schönen Wegen aussichtsreich am Hang entlang.

    Die Wanderung hat eine sehr schöne Aussicht. Jedoch ist der Weg bei mancher Stelle nicht besonders leicht. Wanderschuhe sind definitiv ein Muss. Oben angekommen hat man eine super Aussicht auf den See und das Verzasca Tal.

    Traumhaft schöne Wanderung mit Weitblick. Wenn man ihn in der angegebenen Richtung wandert, angenehmer Aufstieg, dafür extrem knieunfreundlicher Abstieg. Alternative: Strecke im Gegenuhrzeigersinn wandern.

    Fantastic hike / relaxed walk from Ascona to Brissago. If you make the mistake of following the signs in Bronco s/ Ascona by the Shop behind the Church it is not really a problem as the village is beautiful and the last 25min will be along the lake instead of up in the hill. Enjoy!

    Wunderschöne Tour mit tollem Ausblick. Auch perfekt mit Hund. Allerdings muss man sich um die Fahrtzeiten der Gondel kümmern um sicher hoch und auch wieder runter zu kommen.
