From Monte Lema to Monte Tamaro

The tour from Monte Lema to Monte Tamaro is an impressive ridge walk over the green, sunny hills of Ticino, offering us a breathtaking panorama in all directions. First we take the cable car from Miglieglia up to the mountain station below Monte Lema. After a short detour to Monte Lema with its huge cross, we follow the course of the ridge in constant ups and downs over several peaks to Monte Tamaro, the highlight of the tour. Here, a magnificent panoramic view awaits us, including the Monte Rosa and Bernina groups. On the way down to the mountain station of the Rivera-Alpe Foppa cable car is the serviced Capanna Tamaro, which invites us to take a break on its sunny panorama terrace. Another highlight is the mountain church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, designed by the world-famous Ticino architect. The cable car takes us down to Rivera, from where a shuttle bus takes us back to the starting point.
