This tour, however, is even better suited for those who want to try something new, because the two short descents require a certain willingness for more daring stretches. If you don't like this, take the second descent along the ascent.
Author’s recommendation
From the monastery you have a wonderful view of the Riviera Valley and the entire Bellinzona region.
