Cardada Cimetta
Written By Jonathan Jelfs
Cardada Cimetta is a mountain area in southern Switzerland offering stunning views across Lake Maggiore, the towns of Locarno and Ascona and also the Monte Rosa massif, flanked by glaciers, is the highest mountains in the Swiss Alps. Depending on the method of counting, it has ten peaks higher than 4,000 m, and lies partly in Italy. The Dufourspitze (4,634 m, right, black rocky crest) in the Monte Rosa massif is Switzerland’s highest peak and often visible from the Cimetta peak (1671m).
