Alpe Foppa – Duragno – Rivera
This trail is a true local secret for descending to the valley.
The first stretch from Alpe Foppa to Alpe Duragno offers you a gentle hillside path with views of Lake Lugano. Then the pace changes: a steeper descent takes you to Faedone. From here, you plunge into the quiet of the woods as far as Nanazzo, skirting the Val Zarigo to emerge in the picturesque village of Soresina. The last dirt section leads you to Rivera. An itinerary immersed in nature, perfect for those seeking peace away from the crowds.
Main stops: Alpe Foppa (Mountain station of the cable car) – Duragno – Faedone – Monti Nanazzo – Soresina – Rivera (Valley station of the cable car)
