Ticino is where Switzerland kicks back a little. Think alpine charm with Italian flair, sun-drenched trails, and the kind of scenery that makes you stop mid-sandwich. Famiglia Ticino is a 4-day trek made for families who like their holidays a little wild.
The hikes are manageable for experienced families—daily distances are mellow, but there’s one real mountain pass to cross, just enough to earn your gelato. You’ll walk through lush valleys and ancient villages, wander along forest paths, and finish each day in a welcoming rifugio with hearty food and epic views.
This is not a stroller stroll. It’s the Alps, unplugged and family-sized. Perfect for those who’ve done this before—and want a bit more next time.
You’ll receive access to our trekking app, which serves as your complete digital travel guide for the Ticino. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for your trek: route descriptions, hiking maps, navigation support, payment information, and all the key details specific to your journey.
During your Ticino, you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request. If the private rooms are fully booked or not available in the hut, we automatically book a bed in dormitories for you. Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.
Our trekking app also includes built-in navigation support. With GPS-based maps and offline access, you can follow the trail confidently and stay on route even without mobile signal.
You have to make your own way to the starting point. The total amount does not include personal transport.
Should you need any form of (public) transport on location, this is not part of the trekking package. This includes the use of taxi, bus, cable cars, gondolas, ferries, etc.
Half-board is included in the price of this trek. Lunch, however, is not. You can get something to eat at the mountain huts along the way.
Your international travel insurance is your own responsibility. Discuss your itinerary with the insurance company before your trek.
Personal expenses on such as souvenirs, drinks, and other similar expenses are for your own account.
