<\/a><\/p>\nAbove: We went for a small walk in the hills in the evening.<\/p>\n
Day 2<\/h1>\n
We went walking in the hills. We had planned to do an easy klettersteig but it turned out to be so easy it was just a walk. Still we found some interesting old stone buildings.<\/p>\n
1) We went walking in the hills above the lake.<\/p>\n 2) There was a nice view back down and lots of interesting stone buildings. We ate lunch about here before continuing.<\/p>\n 3) A sign on the way. <\/p>\n 4) Leonie and I continued from here while mum took a break and poked around the village.<\/p>\n 5) We had expected a klettersteig so were prepared for one but instead there was this interesting path.<\/p>\n 6) The usual cross at the top.<\/p>\n 7) There was another nice view down to the lake from the summit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We drove to Valle Varsazca and had a look at the river along with many other touristy types. Late afternoon we walked up to Rifugio Costa from Frasco. The walk involved about 1000 m of climbing and was quite steep. It rained off and on as we climbed. We arrived at the hut in evening and it was amazing. It was a little stone hut big enough to sleep 7 people comfortably. It also contained a fire and gas stove and sink plus table. Very very nicely set up. But the best of all was that in a little building next to it there was a shower with warm water! The hut costs about 8 EUR \/ night and you pay by bank transfer. There\u2019s a nice view into the surrounding valleys. It\u2019s up on a spur.<\/p>\n The rain cleared and the sun came out and we decided to cook outside on the big stone table.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1) There was a very picturesque river running down the valley.<\/p>\n 2) We crossed the river and walked through the trees on the other side a little.<\/p>\n 3) We had lunch near the river.<\/p>\n 4) In the afternoon we walked up into the hills to a hut that we had scoped out online.<\/p>\n 5) Mum looks back down the valley.<\/p>\n 6) Leonie arriving at the hut.<\/p>\n 1) Mum arriving at the hut.<\/p>\n 2) Leonie outside our great little hut for the night.<\/p>\n 3) View from the hut in the evening.<\/p>\n 4) Mum outside the hut.<\/p>\n 5) Mum outside the hut as we prepare dinner.<\/p>\n 6) Us preparing dinner.<\/p>\n 1) Mum and Leonie at our stone table.<\/p>\n 2) The night sky in the evening.<\/p>\n 3) More night sky.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was a sunny morning and we headed off for a short walk into the hills behind the hut. There were more stone buildings falling to pieces and the hillside was littered with rock. Mum stopped and Leonie and I went further. It got steep as we climbed. Leonie waited and I went up to the ridge line. The ridge was narrow and the drop on the other side was sheer. The view into the valley below was amazing.<\/p>\n We had lunch at the hut and then headed back down into the valley. We drove back to Lindau stopping at San Bernardino pass.<\/p>\n 1) The hut in the morning.<\/p>\n 2) The next day Leonie and I went walking further up from the hut to the ridge line. It got steep and Leonie waited while I scampered up to the top. Mum walked a little way before heading back down to the hut.<\/p>\n 3) Another sunny day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1) Leonie on the rocks above San Bernardino pass.<\/p>\n 2) Mum picking blueberries on San Bernardino pass.<\/p>\n 3) On the way back we drove up to the San Bernardino pass.<\/p>\n 4) Us at San Bernardino Pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 1 Leonie, mum, and I drove to Locarno on Saturday morning.
