Fiore di Pietra and Monte Generoso Summit Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The satisfaction of reaching the top is really great.
Last piece of road with steps formed by vertical axes and stones slows down the march a little, but we must not give up.

New tourist structure designed by architect Mario Botta, located where previously there was an ancient hotel from the early 1900s.
The orographic situation constitutes a small strip of flat land that overlooks the precipice of the northern side of the mountain, characterized by a large rock that descends towards the valley for approximately 3/400 metres. This particular condition suggested an octagonal building with individual "petals" enclosing a central space.
The result is a powerful and geometric building that dialogues, by contrast, with the organic flow of the surrounding landscape.

View from Monte Generoso

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Monte Generoso is not only worthwhile in every season, it can also be "climbed" from virtually any side. Here, just before Christmas 2017, I started from the last village of Valle Muggio; in Roncappiano. In addition to the village well, there are 3-4 parking spaces, from there it is the same juicy up. Several variants to get to the top or to run back. Afterwards, one of the best viewpoints in southern Ticino awaits you. Enjoy the impressions
