We'll meet either at your accommodation or at a public spot in Locarno or Lugano depending on where you are located. We'll then have a quick breakfast, a short briefing about what we're going to see and what kind of roads we will ride on (elevation, towns, road conditions and so on), and then leave for a 50km ride on the best routes you could imagine. I prefer the less known areas, which are also the quietest and most picturesque. I know the roads so I'll guide you on the best ones in order to make sure you can enjoy the ride, according to your fitness conditions!

Fill your life with an amazing experience: Have you ever been able to transform Earth into art!? We'll work with clay, yes, that squishy stuff between your fingers not only will bring back fun childhood memories, also also moments of deep concentration, and moments of laughter with strangers that are now your new friends! The sculptures we'll make will represent animals of the Alps -- such as the Swiss cows, goats, sheep, but also we will sculpt people and other figures incorporating stones from the river, and other interesting artifacts from the area. We start getting our hands dirty around 10:00. We have an hour lunch break. You can pack your own lunch or you can join me at my favorite restaurant for a 15chf lunch! After lunch, we will continue working on our sculptures till around 16:00. We'll wrap up the lesson with a small aperitif...on the house! And of course, you'll get to go home with a brand new sculpture made with your very own hands!!

Suggestiva passeggiata tra le case e le ville di pregio del paese. I differenti stili architettonici saranno commentati con una sommaria ricostruzione storica. Altri interessanti aneddoti riguardanti l'origine del nucleo saranno sviluppati durante il tragitto.

Dal centro del villaggio ci dirigeremo verso la frazione di San Francesco, dove costeggeremo l'omonima chiesetta e proseguiremo sulla storica Via Francesca. Passeremo sopra un ponte di origine romana fino a giungere la zona Castellaccio. La passeggiata proseguirá in direzione di Largario e faremo sosta presso la fattoria Taddei per una breve visita degli animali e per acquisti di prodotti nostrani. Per il rientro percorreremo la strada a ritroso.

Una volta lasciato il paese, scendendo sul piano, visiteremo tre aziende agricole rispettivamente di Fabio Taddei, Albano e Alberto Zuffi ed Il Cardo di Eric Beretta dove sarà possibile degustare e aquistare formaggi, formagelle e insaccati di alta qualità.
