You can let Marisa serve you on the small terrace in front of the alp. She serves you her homemade specialties and local products, such as formaggini, formagella, zincarlin and dried meat. Plus a Merlot from Mendrisiotto. With the wonderful view of the Valle di Muggio, every meal becomes a unique experience.

Embark on a moderate hike around Monte Generoso, a journey that takes you through peaceful pastures and shaded forested areas. This route covers 6.2 miles (10.0 km) and involves an elevation gain of 1286 feet (392 metres), typically completed in about 3 hours and 20 minutes. As you ascend, you'll find yourself surrounded by diverse landscapes, leading to expansive views from the summit. The trail offers a rewarding experience, culminating in panoramic vistas that stretch across the Alps and northern Italy.
When planning your visit, be aware that the Giro del Monte Generoso da Orimento offers different paths to suit your preference. You can choose the "Via Bassa," an easier low path that is often suitable for families. Alternatively, the "Sentiero Alto" provides a more exposed and challenging experience. Note that the north ascent of Monte Generoso includes steep, rocky sections that are secured with steel ropes and pegs, so be prepared for varied terrain.
This trail is notable for its architectural marvel, The Stone Flower, located near the summit, which you can visit during your hike. From the peak of Monte Generoso, you are treated to sweeping views that encompass both Lake Lugano and Lake Como, offering a unique perspective of the region's stunning natural beauty. The diverse terrain and the option of different routes make this a versatile choice for exploring the area.
