Some of our magnificent excursions into the high valleys around the lago: The Maggia Valley, the Maggia and the Sambuca water supply dams with their retaining walls, the little high up idyllic village Sonogno, the Verzasza Valley, the Lavertezzo Valley, the Centovalli, the ancient Welshmen museum of village Bosco Gurin, and the very tight and dangerous gorge Via Mala.
