Shortly after Lavertezzo is the small village of Sambugaro. A few natural stone houses with beautiful flowers provide a proper setting for the strenuous mountain path to the old settlement of Revöira.

We did another very nice hike today. We parked in Lavertezzo, crossed the impressive Ponte dei Salti, and continued gently uphill along the water, stopping at beautiful waterfalls and deep green water in the river – very cool 👍

Back from Motta, then a steep climb through the woods to the Revöira ruins and back down to the now-crowded rocks …
