    From Alpe Foppa, follow the dirt road to Capanna Tamaro and then the hiking trail to the summit of Monte Tamaro at 1,962 m a.s.l. From here you can enjoy a 360° view of lakes, valleys, cities, and mountains of the canton and beyond. During the descent, initially retrace your steps. After Capanna Tamaro, turn towards Alpe Duragno along a path descending the upper part of the homonymous valley, then reach the alpine pasture where you can admire cows and goats immersed in a beautiful alpine habitat. Return to Alpe Foppa following a relatively flat path that skirts the mountain.
