This fun trail for kids has marble run activities scattered along the river path. 

Before doing the trail, you can purchase a large wooden ball from one of the vending machines or stores near the trail, in Brione or Lavertezzo. Then at each of the twelve stations, you can roll the ball down the elaborate tracks built into the landscape.

The full trail is 5.5 km. But you can shorten it by starting instead at the Brione, Ganne or Brione, Motta bus stops. If you want to hike longer, you can start further up the river at Sonogno (learn more), then join the BoBosco activities in Brione.

The trail ends at the famous Ponti dei Salti bridge and popular swimming area (learn more).

Trail: easy • 2h • 5.5 km • 10m up, 210m down
