This playground is a destination by itself. Big, unusual with a sand pit , flying fox and water canals. Bathroom and restaurant on the premises. All this in Bedretto. If you want to do some hiking with children there are 2 easy circular hikes passing through the playground.
This beautiful waterfall can be enjoyed as a short stop in the end of the day of exploring Valle Maggia or as a destination itself in summer for a cool dip in the pool.
Technically you can see the waterfall from a parking lot but you have to get closer to be able to feel the cool mist on your face.
Nice easy long walk around Ticino river entirely doable on a balance bike if your little one complains about walking too much.
You can enter this protected area from few places. We parked close to the parco giochi in Magadino and walk 5 minutes to the entrance.
These beautiful paths lead you through the park. There are some information boards on the way explaining few facts about the fauna and flora of this unique enviroment.
There are “watch towers” on the way too so you can observe natural inhabitants without interfering.
If you are a birdwatcher this is a must. On the other hand if you were a birdwatcher you would have known about Golle di Magadino already.
Anyway if you have a little bit of interest in the nature and would like to see the place where river Ticino flows into Lago Maggiore this is place for you.
