Quinto

Few settlements in Ticino have a history as closely tied to the Gotthard transit route as Quinto. Set in the upper Leventina Valley beside the Ticino River, the municipality includes the communities of Ambrì and Piotta, where Alpine transport corridors have long shaped local life. From Piotta, the steep Ritom funicular rises towards Lake Ritom and the high Piora Valley, an area of mountain pastures and reservoirs. Quinto is also known across Switzerland through HC Ambrì-Piotta, the ice-hockey club that has given this small Alpine community a national sporting identity.
