3 Days Hike: Fusio - Bignasco - Maggia

While cooler overcast weather in the north, the southern part of Switzerland forecast warm sunny weather, so I decided to revisit the Maggia valley, this time hiking down from Fusio, which a few years back was the end of a higher elevation hike in the summer - so this time it's the start of the hike.

Taking the train to Locarno, then bus to Fusio, arrival ~13:00 - not too warm, apprx. 12°C but sunny.

Some distances:

Fusio - Lago del Naret 5h
Fusio - Cap. Cristallina 7h
Fusio - Robiei 9h
Fusio - Lago Mognola 2h 10m
Fusio - Rif. A. Fontana 4h 40m
Fusio - Prato Sornico 6h 30m
Fusio - Passo Campolungo 3h 10m
Fusio - Rodie-Fiesso 5h 50m
Fusio - Passo Sassello 4h 15m
Fusio - Ambri-Piotta 7h 10m
Fusio - Bignasco 5h
Fusio - Piano de Peccia 3h

Slowly descending to Mogno with its modern church, and continue through forest and then abrupt steep down to Peccia, dropping from 1250m to 880m elevation. The hiking path is in excellent condition, so it's not too hard to descend so steeply, after Peccia continue a bit more to Broglio, short before I find a flat foresty place, where I pitch my tent for tonight - while it looks very nice, it's full of ticks as I find out quickly.

Good long sleep, waiting until sun hits the tent, and continue nap until 10:00 - chilly temperature, but after the sun hits it warms up. Mild descending to Bignasco to 440m finally, slight detour due storm damage, but sufficient sinage where to go - and arrive in Bignasco, brief stop for lunch. Continue toward Cevio, barely 1hr away - and shop a few items, and continue flat, south wind today, and near Someo, after long suspension bridge, and walk slightly back toward the river Maggia, and find a very beautiful place for tonight, ~17:30.
