Hike with Waterfall: Ambri to Faido (16km · 600m up · 800 m down · T1 · 4:30h)

Let’s make the most of late summer with a scenic hike in the beautiful upper Ticino valley. Our route leads from Ambri to Faido, passing through the charming village of Prato in the Leventina, up to Dalpe, and on to one of the area’s highlights — the Piumogna waterfall (https://www.myswitzerland.com/de-ch/erlebnisse/der-piumogna-wasserfall/), a perfect spot to pause, relax, and soak in the views.
This is a day to enjoy sunshine (fingers crossed!), fresh air, and great company. We’ll have a picnic lunch on the way and take time at the waterfall before continuing down to Faido, where our hike finishes.

• 11:09 Ambri-Piotta train station. Please wait for the train from the north.
• Start hike with picnic lunch + waterfall break
• Around 17:00/17:30 arrive at Faido

Costs:

• Train tickets (the Coop SBB day pass for CHF 55 is probably the best option)

What to bring

• Picnic lunch, snacks, and enough water (no restaurant/shopping stops)
• Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)

The Fine Print

• Please commit if you sign up — it helps keep things smooth for everyone.

• This is an informal group outing (not a guided tour). I haven’t hiked this exact route before, so we’ll be exploring it together. Everyone is responsible for their actions, choices, and equipment. Please verify whether the tour is adequate for you and that your own insurance covers you for any event or issue. When signing up, you agree that the organizer shall not be responsible for any injuries or accidents that may occur during the event or as a consequence thereof.

Looking forward to sharing good conversations, stunning views, and a refreshing hike together.
