    With its many lakes in a wide high valley and beautiful mountain surroundings, Val Piora is considered one of the most beautiful mountain regions in Ticino and is a popular excursion destination in midsummer. The Lago Ritóm reservoir can be easily reached by cable car and is a walking area. Further back in the valley it becomes quieter - but not really, because hundreds of cattle populate the wide alpine pastures.

        The Piora Alp is one of the largest mountain pastures in Ticino, with an area of 3500 hectares. Different types of cheeses are produced here and direct sales are available. In the heart of Val Piora, it is surrounded by lush nature, with many lakes and waterways. It is the ideal place to stop during an excursion.
