The Rivieratal offers many opportunities for great hiking tours as well as interesting visits to sights that testify to the historical and artistic importance of the ancient traffic routes. If you come from the north, the Riviera area suddenly opens up at the confluence of the two mountain valleys Leventina and Blenio. Churches and Romanesque church towers, patrician houses, historical settlements in the plains and on the mountains, granite quarries, state-of-the-art factories as well as agriculture and cattle breeding bear witness to the tradition and hard work of the population. An ideal climate, picturesque vegetation, vineyards and chestnut forests, clear streams that gush out of the granite rocks of the side valleys and magnificent views form the ideal environment for relaxation and leisure
