    Sehr empfehlenswerte Tour auf einen sehr schönen Aussichtsgipfel. Weg problemlos, im oberen Bereich über Blockwerk. Schöne Seilbahn mit freundlichen Betreibern und preislich moderat.

    Schöne Wanderung über Waldpfade. Zum Teil leicht steil und es sollte (selten!) Schwindelfreiheit gegeben sein. Gute Kondition hilfreich. Toller Blick ins Tal und auf den Lago Maggiore.

    Wir waren Ende April mit unseren Wanderwege erfahrenen Kindern (5 und 7) unterwegs. Der Weg ist sehr gut markiert, aber mittelprächtig unterhalten, zudem versteckte das trockene Buchenlaub den eigentlichen Weg und man wusste selten, worauf man tritt. Es gibt viele Stellen, wo es wirklich steil runtergeht. Somit würde ich den Weg erst für Wanderweg erfahrene Kinder ab 7 empfehlen. Die Aussicht von den Monti ist sehr schön.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung oberhalb von Intragna mit Blick ins Onsernonetal und das Centovalli. Nordseite teilweise etwas unweglich und nicht überall in Stand gehalten (rutschig, umgestürzte Bäume). Aber gut auf den Beinen ist, für den sind das keine grösseren Hindernisse. Sehr empfehlenswert als kleine Halbtagestour.

    Wunderbare Wanderung, besonders der Aufstieg lohnt sich der vielen schönen Aussichtspunkte wegen! Allerdings gilt zu beachten, dass die erste Seilbahn von Verdasio nach Monte di Comino werktags erst um 9h losfährt und das letzte Postauto ab Comologno Richtung Intragna bereits um 16.38. Die Wanderzeit von 6h ist eher sportlich berechnet, für ein Bad blieb diesmal keine Zeit mehr. Ausserdem befindet sich auf dem ganzen Weg kein einziger Wasserhahn oder Brunnen, genügend Getränk mitnehmen!
