Cevio is the capital of Vallemaggia, nevertheless its size is small. The suggestive central streets are worth a visit.

Leave rucksacks at the crossing point and in 5 minutes without luggage to the viewpoint.

Our "supply station". A nice village with a supermarket. In the Albergo della Posta, outside on the piazza, the Prosecco is served in chilled glasses.

It's probably a truism, and yet it's easy to forget: mountain names aren't carved on rock. Like the famous Brazilian Pão de Açúcar, Monte Zucchero got its name because of its cone-shaped appearance. But this view is not correct from all sides: In contrast to the Valmaggesi, the Verzaschesi tend to use the name Sassaróss - because of the oxidized, reddish rock (like the Sasso Rosso, about 4 km further south-east). Another common name was Triangolo(ne), as a counterpart to the neighboring Triangolino. The fact that almost only the name Monte Zucchero is used today is therefore arbitrary. As diverse as Monte Zucchero is named, its nature is strangely monotonous. The area, which also appears barren in terms of landscape, is one of the mountain areas with the fewest floral species in Switzerland: the neighboring region of Pizzo Barone, Campo Tencia and Campolungo has around three times as many flower species. The cause of this species poverty lies in the history of the earth; the gneiss that predominates here is a rather bitter substrate for flowers at such altitudes.

One of the most beautiful places in Ticino! Alpe Nimi not only has a fantastic location high above Lake Maggiore, but is also perfect accommodation for all hut hikers! Pietro has been running the Alpe since 1998 with perfect hospitality and delicious food from his own production. The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. The goats are cute anyway. And the most beautifully situated bathtub in the entire Alps is also available here. Everything is just right here.

Today you can admire the wealth of well-preserved historical evidence in the village, including the village square surrounded by houses from the 19th century. The village consists of several hamlets, spread over almost 3 km, some of which are worth seeing. Particularly interesting are the 19th century buildings lined up in the beautiful village square and the large mansions of the old village center of Cevio. The Ethnographic Museum of the Maggia Valley has been set up in two of these houses, which formerly belonged to the Franzoni family.

Idyllic and varied area

Idyllic, original mountain village easily accessible by bike or on foot. Great view of the Verzasca valley.
