We took a shorter hike this afternoon. We had made plans to go to dinner that night with the head football coach and his family to this grotto up in the mountains. Since we had never seen it, we thought we'd take a hike to check it out!
Now, let me explain.... There are many grottos in Ticino, which are usually mountain restaurants that have been there for a long time and serve a limited menu of mostly homemade food. Often the cheeses and meat are from the nearby mountain farms.
So we began our hike from the town of Villa Luganese and followed the signs up to the grotto. You can take the steeper climb on the mountain path or take the paved road. We did a little of both and it was a 1/2 hour hike.
The picture above is from the meadow next to the grotto.
That is Monte Tamaro in the background with the snow.
The grotto is the building below.
Along the hike down were directions to many hiking paths! The "Denti della Vecchia" mountains in the background.
