Cardada Cimetta
Maybe you have considered that above Locarno there exists a view point from which you can observe as well the lowest point (Lago Maggiore) as well as the highest point (Dufour Peak in Monte Rosa) in Switzerland?
On the summit with the mountain, 1671 meters above sea level, a viewing platform was built which overlooks your entire region of Lake Maggiore. Towards the east the view stretches in the Magadino Plain to Bellinzona. For the west the scene extends over probably the most famous peaks in the Swiss Alps for example the Dufour. To the south, after dark mountains that surround Lake Maggiore, you can see from the distance the Ligurian Apennines, located near Genoa.
Further down, a number of meters from the arrival station with the cable car a footbridge was built which winds its way across the tops with the trees of the woods below. Because of this unusual scenic promontory you can admire the forest, the Centovalli and areas of the Maggia Valley.
