    You reach the locality Mornera thanks to the cable car that starts from Monte Carasso. Upon arrival at the cable car, it is recommended to go right, immediately entering a beautiful forest that will lead to the beautiful frozen pond of Mornera, which always offers a magical scenery.

    You continue through the forest following the path, where you occasionally find comfortable benches to take a short break.

    The end point is again at the start of the Mornera cable car, where you can then comfortably return to Monte Carasso.
