These gorgeous waterfalls were a bit mysterious before we went and we weren’t sure what we would find. I’m so glad we took a chance; these falls were amazing! The lower falls are easy to access by car. The upper falls require a cable car ride and hike, well worth it.

A short walk around this beautiful alpine lake in Ticino, with big grassy areas for running around, and lots of places to build a fire and have a picnic. There are a couple waterfalls and rivers flowing into the lake, which makes fun places to jump around and throw rocks.
