> Sleep in welcoming mountain huts
> Experience the pink glow of Enrosadira at sunrise and sunset
Ever watched the mountains blush? In Ticino, the Enrosadira glow turns stone to fire—just one of those moments that makes the whole day worth it. Welcome to Famiglia Ticino: a 5-day alpine escape built for adventurous families who want a bit more than the usual holiday.
The trails here are made for families who’ve done some hiking before. You’ll meander through chestnut forests and quiet villages, follow rivers, and cross one good old-fashioned mountain pass. It’s just enough challenge to earn your end-of-day pasta and maybe a glass of something local. Each night, you’ll stay in a family-friendly rifugio with hearty meals and proper views.
This isn’t a walk in the park—it’s a real slice of the Alps, unplugged, family-sized, and with a pinch of Italian spice. Perfect if your crew is ready to level up from the easy stuff.
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.
Accommodation in the huts includes dinner and breakfast, unless otherwise indicated in the exclusive list. This allows you to travel lighter and not have to worry about an extra meal. Please note, however, that lunch is not included, but can be purchased at the huts.
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.
