Narèt Landscape, Switzerland

IMG_8701

This is the view from the top of Sambuco Valley, in Southern Switzerland, at 2301 meters (7578,74 feet) above the sea level. There is a small road ending here, and many paths and passes leading North to the Ticino Valley through the surrounding mountains. This area is very rich in artificial and natural alpine lakes, and the weather - despite small snow and ice leftover - was incredibly hot even for the summer season.

Switzerland, Lago di Sassolo

IMG_0917

I discovered the Valle Sambuco in July 2015. The weather in Italy was very hot, so I decided to spend some time in Switzerland Alps near Locarno. So I discovered the wonderful Valle Maggia, Val Lavizzara and Valle Sambuco, three valleys in Canton Ticino between Airolo and Locarno. The superior part of the valleys is full ok alpine lake, some more big (Lake Sambuco), some very little (as Lake Sassolo, Lago Superiore, Lago Scuro, and many others).
