Walserweg Gottardo, Stage 5/14

From the valley floor at Fondovalle, there is a narrow path up through the wild mountain forest and then across alpine meadows. A sudden encounter with the deep blue Lago Superiore within a hollow in the landscape. Up to the Hendar Furggu mountain pass through blocky landscape, and then a gentler descent over alpine pastures and through sparse forest to Bosco Gurin, the only Walser village in Ticino.
