    Then you arrive at Mornera (1,350 m) which is also easily accessible by the Monte Carasso cable car (booking the cabin is recommended).

    From Mornera, you cross fir forests to reach the Albagno Hut (1,870 m) where an overnight stay is planned. On the second day, the hike continues descending towards Alpe Arami; a small alpine jewel nestled in the mountains above Gorduno. A spectacular terrace at 1,500 meters high with views over Bellinzonese and the Riviera, and also the subject of a recent restoration project to enhance the area. After enjoying the beauties of the alpine pasture, descend to Gorduno to end the hike. Return by public transport to Monte Carasso.
