    Hiking

    New tourist structure designed by architect Mario Botta, located where previously there was an ancient hotel from the early 1900s.
    The orographic situation constitutes a small strip of flat land that overlooks the precipice of the northern side of the mountain, characterized by a large rock that descends towards the valley for approximately 3/400 metres. This particular condition suggested an octagonal building with individual "petals" enclosing a central space.
    The result is a powerful and geometric building that dialogues, by contrast, with the organic flow of the surrounding landscape.
    Translated by
    imposing structure, very beautiful but with a futuristic design that somewhat spoils the mountain landscape, it is a restaurant bar with also rooms for events and conferences

    It is located at the foot of Mount Generoso and when the train arrived, we found it closed.
