The Cimo Trail

On a Saturday in late January, a week before the first snow, I hiked from the lakeside town of Agno to the hill town of Cimo. The trail begins across the street from the back of the Agno church and winds its way through the forest at the edge of town.

The trademark Swiss yellow signage looks a bit worse for the wear, but it serves its purpose.

The trail is well-maintained...

and always easy to follow.

Cimo offers neat architecture...

Catholic-themed art...

and lots of quiet to hear yourself think.

The best thing about Cimo, however, is the view.

Some people find the view heart-stopping, which is why a defibrillator is available to the general public right in the middle of Cimo.

Seriously, this device is part of a network of defibrillators publicly available for emergencies in communities throughout southern Switzerland!
