Ticino again!!

Although we spend more than a week in Ticino after New Year, the longing for warming sun, cold granite, mean chestnut spikes, sweet Rivella, tasty cheese, snow capped mountains, and of course delicious pizza del ticinese grew too big again.
As Micha was at a workshop in Switzerland anyways, I spontaneously booked a flight to Zürich to visit friends and say Ticino and the mountains Hello.
We rocked some old and new classic boulders in Chironico, but also explored a new area in the Maggia valley. It was such an idyllic and perfect weekend like only weekends in Ticino can be.. .
