Welcome to the Energy Trail website
The trail is the result of the initiative of the Patriziato di Piazzogna, which directed and supervised its creation. Several public and private bodies have contributed with their valuable support: Raiffeisen, alpinfra, the Municipality of Gambarogno, the Regional Development Agency, federlegno, the Lake Maggiore Tourism Foundation, and the Republic and Canton of Ticino.
We are in Piazzogna, a gem nestled between the calm waters of Lake Maggiore and the hills of Gambarogno that lead to Monte Gambarogno and, from there, to even higher peaks. This unique and authentic landscape is located in the center of the geomantic triangle whose vertices are Monte Verità in Ascona, Madonna del Sasso in Orselina and Sass da Grüm in Gambarogno.
The trail, just over 200 meters long and with a difference in altitude of only 50 meters, gently winds through the heart of the forest, offering the perfect environment for those who want to leave the daily hustle and bustle behind. Here, every step invites you to rediscover yourself, to meditate, to clear your mind and reconnect with nature in a moment of authentic well-being.
