Let’s set off to discover the Blenio Valley, also known as the “Valley of the Sun”. The guided tour begins with a visit to the Historical and Ethnographic Museum of Lottigna (or the Fondazione Archivio Donetta, Corzoneso, depending on availability), housed in a charming 16th-century building. There, we’ll admire historical frescoes and a rich collection that tells the story of local traditions, from craftsmanship to winemaking. After the visit, we’ll have the chance to taste the typical Ticinese bread cake, a real regional delicacy. The tour continues with a stop at the Croce farm, where we will enjoy an aperitivo of fresh cheeses and their delicious homemade gelato, a mouthwatering way to explore even more local flavours. The Croce farm is a family-run business offering fresh, high-quality products, all locally sourced. Around 50 dairy cows and a similar number of young Brown Swiss cattle are tended with great care. Most of the herd spends the summer grazing in the nearby alpine pastures. We end the tour with a relaxing walk in nature, fully immersing ourselves in the beauty and traditions of the Blenio Valley. A unique experience blending culture, taste and nature!
