Lugano was spectacular. Wednesday we went to Mount Tamaro for more great views of the alps.
We rode a gondola up the mountain.
It just kept going and going and going.
The kids were thrilled with the playground at the top. We had a picnic lunch overlooking the valley after they had time to play.
After lunch we went for a short hike starting with visiting the chapel.
The hike went along the ridgeline and included a rockpile perfect for kids to stack and play with.
We then rode on the alpine slide. It took you over the edge as fast as you wanted to go.
Preston was very resistant to trying it out, but then loved it and wanted to go faster, and faster!
The attendant was from Portugal and appreciated James being able to converse with him in portuguese. So he let us all go an extra time.
From there we went down the mountain and over to check out the Verzasca Dam (made famous by James Bond in Golden Eye).
The Ponte dei Salti double bridge was a great place to get out and explore some more.
The surrounding village had much more of the swiss feel with the beautiful stone buildings.
As is typical, Ethan was most interested in catching frogs in river.
