Cardada Cimetta
Have you thought that above Locarno there is a view point from which you can observe as well the minimum point (Lago Maggiore) and the highest point (Dufour Peak in Monte Rosa) in Switzerland?
For the summit in the mountain, 1671 meters above sea level, a viewing platform was built which overlooks your entire region of Lake Maggiore. Towards the east the vista stretches through the Magadino Plain to Bellinzona. Towards the west the view extends over one of the most famous peaks from the Swiss Alps such as the Dufour. To florida, beyond the mountains that surround Lake Maggiore, you can see inside the distance the Ligurian Apennines, located near Genoa.
Further down, several meters away from the arrival station with the cable car a footbridge was built which winds its way across the tops in the trees with the woods below. Because of this unusual scenic promontory it is possible to admire the stream, the Centovalli and parts of the Maggia Valley.
