Cardada Cimetta
Perhaps you have believed that above Locarno there’s a view point where you can see at the same time the cheapest point (Lago Maggiore) as well as the highest point (Dufour Peak in Monte Rosa) in Switzerland?
Around the summit from the mountain, 1671 meters above sea level, a viewing platform was built which overlooks your entire region of Lake Maggiore. On the east the view stretches in the Magadino Plain to Bellinzona. On the west the scene extends over many of the most famous peaks of the Swiss Alps including the Dufour. To florida, after dark mountains that surround Lake Maggiore, you will see inside the distance the Ligurian Apennines, located near Genoa.
Further down, a couple of meters outside the arrival station in the cable car a footbridge was built which winds its way over the tops in the trees with the woods below. Out of this unusual scenic promontory it is possible to admire the lake, the Centovalli and parts of the Maggia Valley.
