DISCOVER — CIOSS PRATO<br />
7<br />
A SPARKLE IN THE ALPS<br />
Nepal in miniature,<br />
with crystals, biscuits<br />
and snowshoes<br />
Glittering treasures hidden away in the heart of Europe, amidst<br />
impenetrable rocky walls and rugged passes, concealed<br />
among majestic and awe-inspiring mountains where eagles<br />
and ibexes reign supreme. Clear or coloured, pointy and<br />
solid, they have always symbolised strength and resistance.<br />
The Bedretto Valley has all this to offer, along with a wild,<br />
uncontaminated nature. The perfect place for a day out with<br />
the family, where you can even try the famous pastries.<br />
CIOSS PRATO<br />
Despite being an open valley offering access at both ends, those<br />
who choose this route know that it's neither the most convenient<br />
nor the quickest. However, the Bedretto Valley is well worth the<br />
diversion. Just a few minutes after entering the gateway to Ticino<br />
or the last stop before the vast expanses of the Alps, you feel as<br />
though you’re in a place outside this world, as relaxing and calm<br />
as a restorative holiday ought to be. It’s also worth knowing that<br />
children certainly won’t be bored in Cioss Prato. There’s a play<br />
park with towers and castles, a ski lift in winter, trails dotted<br />
with fascinating objects all year round, tasty desserts and a cave<br />
full of crystals straight from the bowels of the earth. All this has<br />
been developed by Agnese and Marco Leonardi, a young couple<br />
who decided to live in this idyllic valley with their two children.
