PicnicS at Lukmanier
Unfold a blanket and spend an enjoyable day
till evening: the picnic paradise of Lukmanier.
IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN, NATURE REIGNS SUPREME.
FRAGRANT WOODS AND BROAD PASTURES INVITE YOU
TO EAT SUNDAY BRUNCH UNDER THE BLUE SKY.

No motorways, no railway lines, no McDonald’s: the Blenio
valley, also known as “Valley of the Sun”, seems as though it belongs
to another age. Old stone-built villages let nothing disturb their
peace and quiet. Dreamy “rusticos” (typical Ticino stone houses)
cling to the slopes here and there. And in the broad meadows and
woods, the scent of fresh, sun-dried bedlinen hangs in the air.
HIKING TRAILS
AND PICNIC AREAS
There are not many places where you can walk from the bitter
Alpine climate to a soft, almost Mediterranean atmosphere in
one day, as you can here from the Lukmanier to Biasca: through
places where all you can hear is the gurgling of the Brenno down
below in the valley, past southern-style facades and the famous
Romanic churches.
There are two things which always draw attention in the
Blenio valley. One is the groups of schoolchildren and especially
the many families, laying out enormous blankets in this picnic
paradise, setting out the ingredients for a lavish feast, and enjoyably
passing the day until evening, in the open air.
