BETWEEN MOUNTAINS AND SHORES, AND BACK
What if this experience was a chakra?
MULADHARA - I AM. Root chakra. Energy, stability, comfort, security.
Discovering the roots of the Gambarogno (with a few gastronomic stops)
This 10.8-kilometer route-perfect for a day trip-routes through forests, meadows, vineyards, bridges and waterfalls, valleys, hamlets and villages. It is a tour to learn about the roots and identity of these places.
As if the mountain itself had roots, we suggest this discovery tour of Habitat's surroundings that runs from Dirinella to Piazzogna, where each village has something to show you: a Stations of the Cross or an oratory, a small church, a fragment of the past, a snapshot of the present.
Nature, too, has everything to show you. Ditto, Ticino cuisine-and you can try it in a typical grotto, visiting a historic winery or in a lakeside trattoria.
ROOTS
Why do we insist so much on the concept of roots? Because we feel it close, powerful, true.
Not surprisingly, even among our homes, one is dedicated to the root, the foundation.
If you too love to go to the root of things, you will take this path between mountains and shores. Then, the villages of Caviano, Sant'Abbondio, Gerra, Casenzano, San Nazzaro and Vairano will no longer be just names on a map, but a path of art, grace, authenticity and beauty.
