Alpe Cardada Mountain Lodge and Viewpoint

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Alpe Carcada is a very famous place near the Stallone. A mountain pasture full of services thanks to the restaurant, view and surroundings that take away any fatigue. Consider that it is very popular in high season.

View of Lake Maggiore from Cardada

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wonderful view of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains. The lowest (Ascona) and the highest (Dufourspitze) point in Switzerland are visible from here. A short walk from Cardada takes you to the chairlift to the Cimetta.
