Hiking the Blenio Valley trails is the perfect way get closer to the masterpieces of rural Romanesque architecture. The succession of bell towers, churches, oratories, chapels, frescoes, bridges and stately homes are the artistic and architectural testimonies meriting particular attention which, along with the natural heritage, have contributed to making the Blenio Valley increasingly attractive for visitors.

Author’s recommendation
The signalisation is uniform and the colour used is brown. In addition to these signs, there are orientation and thematic boards on the ground.
To best appreciate this route, it is a good idea to allow for a full day.
