Monte Tamaro is a recreation area located in the Canton of Ticino, in Southern Switzerland. You have to take a cable car up the mountain to truly appreciate everything the site has to offer.

In addition to spectacular views, there are many attractions for outdoor enthusiasts, including hiking trails and picnic areas. I have been there a few times and spent the afternoon completing the high ropes course or riding the zip line.

These are some of my favorite snapshots from those visits:
