Is anyone up for heading to Italian speaking Switzerland for the weekend?

Saturday plan is to continue our journey across the energy spots in Ticino: after visiting S.Carlo and Biasca churches and the yoga trail one year ago, let's head to Mergoscia in Val Verzasca, where awaiting us will be not just the famous James Bond dam, but also the valley of the witches and a bell tower that is said to capture the energy of the universe and radiate it across the valley. Hike takes 3 hours and is described on: Protected content

On Saturday evening we still are debating whether to visit the Locarno film festival (incidentally, buying a movie ticket on Protected content would provide us with free transportation across the region... although, of course, the same applies by staying at a hotel/hostel).

On Sunday we'll move to Faido, home to mighty waterfalls and rivers, picturesque woods and glaciers. We'll probably follow the path indicated on Protected content , although our ambitious goal will be Alpe Croslina, located at Protected content above sea level.

As usual, you're welcome to join us for one day or the whole weekend.
