    Wie fast immer war ich mit meinen Kindern unterwegs. Mit dem Auto bis Cerentino im Vallemaggia und von dort aus bis nach Bosco Gurin, eine der besterhaltenen Walsersiedlungen auf der Alpensüdseite. Die Tour hat etwas magisches. In Bosco Gurin angekommen, kann man seine Füße in den eiskalten Wildbach strecken. Nach einer leckeren Brotzeit geht es dann wieder zurück oder man nimmt das Postauto. Bosco Gurin liegt sehr abgelegen, bitte vorher den Fahrplan beachten, sollte man sich für eine Rückfahrt mit dem Postauto entscheiden.

    Die Tour Blinnenhorn ist eine fantastische Rundtour in mehreren gut geplanten Tagesetappen. Was mir dabei sehr gefiel sind die ‚Grenzerfahrungen‘ in Routen und Unterkünften. Das italienische Flaire erreicht einem spätestens bei dem herzlichen Buongiorno auf der Hütte Margaroli. 👍🏻 Leider spielte das Wetter am Tag des geplanten Gipfelaufstieges nicht mit und wir mussten die Tour leider beenden, ohne das Blinnenhorn bestiegen zu haben.
