Hiking
The waters of the "Alpe lake" form a river called "Ri della Froda".
It descends from the high peaks, forming Santa Petronilla's waterfalls, the highest waterfalls of Ticino.
The waters dive between the rocky walls above Biasca and disappear, like a magic, behind the train station.
It's a place where you can appreciate beautiful, power, energy and freshness mixed togheter.
But, always be careful, in some parts of trail, it can be dangerous.
