Montescena

The village of Montescena is located above Scena, at the foot of the Monte Ivigna.

Montescena is situated above Scena and counts some 115 inhabitants. This little village is accessible via a little road from Scena, as well as via a funicular that takes to this place. Montescena is above all known as hiking area, boasting a vast network of trails of all levels of difficulty, perfect for those who love spending their time under the open sky. Those who aim higher can scale the summit of the Monte Ivigna.

Children and families, however, enjoy spending their leisure time in the high rope course Taser, located at the homonymous alpine pasture for families. This high rope course, situated at 1,500 m asl, is one of the largest and probably most adventuresome high rope courses of Europe and is really worth a visit.

Our tip: the “Berger Pfinstig”, an event taking place from April to October on every third Thursday of the month. Entertainment, animation for kids, music and delicious farmers’ dishes make your day at the alpine pasture unforgettable.
