    Tips

    February 2, 2018

    Located at the foot of the pyramid-shaped Sosto (2,221 meters), Olivone is the starting point for excursions and bike tours to the impressive Greina plateau, the original Val di Campo or the Luzzone dam.

    In the direction of the Lukmanier Pass (Valle Santa Maria) you reach the eco-center in Acquacalda with a pension and restaurant in a park-like natural landscape. It goes steeply to the east into the Adula massif with the Rheinwaldhorn, the highest elevation in the region.

    Historically, the Passort Olivone experienced its heyday in the High Middle Ages, when the Lukmanier Pass was an important traffic artery. The village landscape includes stately mansions and wooden agricultural buildings with stone kitchens. Statutes, pictures and objects from the religious life of the valley are exhibited in the “Ca da Rivöi” museum, and fresh dairy products are offered in the small cheese dairy Caseificio Töira.
