Recognised in 2014 as “one of the most beautiful alpine valleys in Switzerland”, the Muggio Valley is a true hidden gem where nature, history, and sustainability come together in a unique and harmonious way.
Thanks to the ongoing work of the Ethnographic Museum of the Muggio Valley (MEVM), many of the valley’s historical landmarks are now accessible and open to visitors. These include the Mulino di Bruzella, the Roccolo di Scudellate, and the ancient nevère—traditional stone structures used to preserve perishable goods. Every year, these cultural attractions draw numerous visitors eager to explore the valley’s heritage.
The Muggio Valley is an ideal destination for those in search of tranquillity, breathtaking views, and a deep connection with nature. Spanning altitudes from 300 to 1,700 metres, the valley features a wide range of natural environments—from alpine pastures and forests to traditional chestnut groves. A well-maintained network of hiking trails offers the perfect opportunity to discover the valley’s beauty, from Roncapiano all the way to the Breggia Gorge Park, and to reach the summits of the surrounding mountains. The valley’s charming villages, with their historic centres and traditional architecture, provide a window into the region’s cultural roots and local lifestyle.
The valley's rich biodiversity is equally remarkable. The area is home to a wide variety of plant species and birdlife, including nuthatches, wrynecks, magpies, and tits. Among the mammals frequently spotted along the slopes of Monte Generoso are chamois, wild boars, deer, and roe deer.
A deeply immersive nature experience that enriches every visit, making the Muggio Valley an unmissable destination for lovers of the mountains and biodiversity.
