Smuggler's trek

 

Ascona

From to

Trekking del Contrabbandiere: An initiative by Insubrica Historica that aims to enhance the path near the Locarno border (Brissago) used during the period 1940-1950 for the smuggling of goods, but also by partisans and civilian and Jewish refugees fleeing towards Switzerland. This trek was born from the desire to allow interested people to relive an important historical moment, not so remote. It is a path that leads to reflection and shows how the war situation of the Second World War has widely affected the region with the Locarno area.
