About the event

This active two-day weekend combines exercise, views and the pleasures of a Ticino autumn. It runs on 24 and 25 October 2026 and is led by two certified hiking guides.

On day 1 you choose between a ridge hike on Pizzo Leone above Brissago and a bike & hike variant along the Maggia towards Verscio.

On day 2 there are circular hikes on Cardada towards Cimetta, either on a T3 mountain route or on a more alpine T4 variant.

The night is spent in a double room with lake view at Hotel Piazza in Ascona. The weekend was created in collaboration with Cembro Tours and hiking guide Seraina von Planta.
