Hiking Valley Verzasca – The Art path – Ticino, Switzerland

November 19, 2020November 19, 2020Gelatotravels

The James Bond “Golden Eye” movie helped to make this valley famous with a bungee jump scene off the Verzasca Dam. However, this valley isn’t famous only because of Hollywood, as Valley Verzasca has become a highly attractive place for tourists.

Bellinzona – Outdoor Escape Room (Ticino/Tessin)

November 13, 2020Gelatotravels

If thinking outside of the box and solving clues peaks your interest, then I have the perfect activity for you: An Outdoor Escape Room. I first heard of Escape rooms years ago when we were visiting the states. My kids were keen to try it out, so we gave it a go, and I was happily surprised to see what an entertaining experience it was.

We’ve been very quiet over here as we are soaking up every minute with our family back in the USA

Yesterday we were delighted to be part of a little adventure with @ticinoturismo in showcasing the new Ceneri Base Tunnel. Now it’s so quick to travel around Ticino. 🇨🇭

📍Cascata Di Foroglio

It’s always hard celebrating birthdays living so far away. I wish I was there to hug my mom and tell her happy birthday 🎂. We’re really hoping to be able to visit family soon 🙏 ...as I’m sure many of you are too.

Still one of my favorite hikes of the season- thus far. This hike starts in the quaint village of Foroglio and continues up the mountain passing through darling rock villages.

Door to nowhere? This door looks a little mysterious sitting on the banks of the Zugersee in Zug. But, actually it does have a little stairway that takes you to an underwater observatory — hard to see much. But I absolutely love the idea 💙

Seriously, how awesome are these rock houses? 😍Last week we discovered a new hike we fell in love with in Ticino🇨🇭

We thoroughly enjoyed our little getaway away in Zürich and visiting all of the gorgeous rose filled fountains.
