Ab Rivio Paesa (von Lugano gelangst du mit Zug und Bus in ca. 40 Minuten zum Ausgangspunkt der Wanderung) gelangst du über Stock und Stein in ca. 4 Stunden bis zum Monte Generoso. Es ist Trittsicherheit und teils Schwindelfreiheit erforderlich.
Wanderschuhe sind Pflicht.
Verpflegung: Nimm genügend Wasser und Essen mit auf den Weg. Erst ab Bellavista kannst du dich wieder verpflegen. Bis dahin überwindest du einige Höhenmeter und bist froh über den mitgebrachten Proviant.
