The Greina region | La regione della Greina
Greina is a beautiful region located between the Ticino and the Grison, in the south-eastern part of Switzerland.
La Greina é una bellissima regione situata tra il Ticino e i Grigioni, nella parte sud-orientale della Svizzera.
It is a plateau at 2200 meters above sea level, in the middle of the Swiss Alps, decorated with peat bogs, streams and marshes. You never expect to find an expanse of this size and beauty amid the rocky mountains that surround it.
Si tratta di un altipiano a 2200 metri di altitudine, nel pieno delle alpi svizzere decorato da torbiere, ruscelli e paludi. Non ci si aspetterebbe mai di trovare una distesa di queste dimensioni e bellezza in mezzo alle rocciose montagne che la circondano.
To reach the palce it takes an ascent of about two hours, which is amply repaid by the view of the landscape. Halfway through the walk you can still stop at the hut "Scaletta" :D
Per raggiungere la radura ci vogliono circa due ore di salita, fatica che é ampiamente ripagata dalla vista del paesaggio. A metà della camminata si può comunque fare una sosta alla capanna "Scaletta" :D
A point much appreciated by hikers is the arch, a beautiful natural rocky "sculpture", of which I created a watercolor illustration.
Un punto molto apprezzato dai passanti è l'arco, una stupenda "scultura" naturale di roccia, di cui ho creato un'illustrazione ad acquerello.
If you happen to pass around here it could be an idea for a magical walk on the Alps!
Se vi capita di passare da queste parti potrebbe essere un'idea per una magica passeggiata sulle alpi!
Do you know other surprising plateaus in the mountains? Let me know!
Conoscete altre sorprendenti altipiani in mezzo alle montagne? Fatemi sapere!
