Last day in the footsteps of S. Corinna Bille.
According to her description, they followed the road to reach Cevio from Bosco/Gurin. Currently, a number of paths make it possible to avoid taking the road. It should be mentioned, however, that the right directions are not always easy to find. I experienced it in Cerentino, Collinasca and Linescio. In these villages, one really have to keep an eye on the map … otherwise you risk missing the start of the trail.
For the return trip, the protagonists had at their disposal the Valmaggina, a narrow gauge railway that ran through the Valle Maggia between Ponte Brolla and Bignasco. This line was abandoned in 1965 in favor of buses. There are still a few clearly visible relics: steel bridges at Visletto and Ponte Brolla, tunnel near Visletto and walls all along the valley.
