Alpe Foppa – Alpe di Neggia

Ideal for those who love high-altitude hiking, the Alpe Foppa - Alpe di Neggia itinerary will treat you to stunning views.

Alpe Foppa – Alpe di Neggia

Starting from Alpe Foppa, head straight to the summit of Monte Tamaro: the 360-degree panorama of the Alps and lakes makes every effort truly worthwhile. If you are pressed for time, however, a lower alternative route will save you 20 minutes. From the top, you descend along a series of switchbacks along the ridge down to Alpe di Neggia, with the Locarno region constantly in view. An excellent trail, equally enjoyable in reverse.

Look for the connection Alpe di Neggia, Alpe – Rivera-Bironico that fits you best!
