Via del Montecenerino

This stretch of road starts from the town of Quartino and reaches Monte Ceneri in just over an hour's walk. Also called "Roman road", it represents the ancient connection between Sopra (Upper) and Sotto (Lower) Ceneri and is one of the best-preserved sections of the ancient Via Regina in the entire canton. Included in the Federal Inventory of Historic Routes in Switzerland (IHR) and reopened to the public in 2016 after extensive restoration work. The reconstruction took place through the use of traditional materials and the use of artisan methods that have preserved its original appearance, allowing a dive into history or the creation of scenes with a historical layout without the need for major scenic intervention. The restored part measures 1,3 km and has an average width of just over four metres.
