Explanation

    The Planet Trail winds its way through the Saurù mountains and through the forest: an adventure waiting to be discovered. Saturnino, the mascot, will show you the way and tell you the curiosities of each of the planets you meet on the way.

    With the Pizzo di Claro cable car, you reach an altitude of 1,300 metres in just 15 minutes, and the trip starts from there. Along the way, there are ten didactic panels celebrating our solar system in all its magnificence.

    The loop walk is pleasant and flat; suitable for everyone, especially families.

    The surrounding area is very picturesque. For a homemade ice cream you can stop at the Osteria Saurù or, for those who still have the energy, it takes about two hours to reach the Capanna Brogoldone, open from May to October. The region is renowned for its lace: the Pizzo di Claro, the Matterhorn of the Bellinzona region!
