In no more than 20 minutes, you can whizz down south on the Gotthard motorway, through the Leventina valley between Airolo and Biasca - a shame really, because the valley of the young Ticino river offers quite some sights:
High above the valley of the Ticino, hikers and bikers find old Ticino village culture and a nature paradise, that the car-drivers down in the valley can only dream of...
The wild Piottina gorge above Faido, the Gola del Piottina, is an impressive natural monument, a visit to which not only promises a fascinating excursion into a cultural landscape that has remained close to nature, but also provides food for thought about our present and future.
Its historic road has been its most important North-South-connection for 150 years, and is meant to be preserved and serve as a walking trail.
