Last summer I took my four grandkids for a truly wonderful day out to see these magnificent birds fly so close over our heads. It was brilliant, the staff were good and very helpful and this year I am taking a group from a club for the experience too! Well worth it.

Getting to the Cimetta (1671 m) involves a funicular train ride (to Orselina), a cable car (to Cardada) and a final chair lift to the top. If the weather is clear it is worth every penny as the views are magnificent. The train runs from the town centre. There is a restaurant or cafe at each stage of the journey. You can walk or cycle it if you wish. Very highly recommended.
