    Sensationeller S2 trail vom Mattarone; sehr grifiges rauhes etwas bröseliges Gestein; Auffahrt kann man etwas abkürzen, wenn man nicht die Strasse fahren will.

    Eine schöne Tour, immer am Wasser entlang, manchmal kurz bergauf, dann gleich wieder runter. Nur der Verkehr ist mancherorts zu viel.

    Great tour on Monte Camoscio. Breathtaking views on Lago Maggiore and Stresa. No problems on the hike , not dangerous if you don’t get mixed up with the wrong path! Just follow the accurate GPS map.

    Very nice walk also in summer and partly through old donkey trails and wasted stone stables. The agriturismo L'Ordin offers very original farm food, which might not be ok for everyone. But it is good and tasty.

    Percorso impegnativo che richiede una buona resistenza fisica in salita e buona attitudine ai sentieri dissestati in discesa. La vista panoramica compensa la fatica profusa.

    Nach dem Ausstieg aus dem Sessellift kann man in "verlängerter Fahrtrichtung" direkt zum Hotel Miramonti hinabsteigen und etwas abkürzen. GPS hilft bei manchen Wegentscheidungen.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung, nur beim Rückweg ist alles dicht bewachsen, da sollte man den Weg am Golfplatz und nicht am Zaun vom Golfplatz nehmen bis zum Parkplatz der Golfer. In Stropino sind wir dann noch eingekehrt und haben fürstlich gegessen und sind dann noch die 20 Min. zum Ausgangspunkt gelaufeny
