Itinerary description

(ENGLISH BELOW)

Realizada el 14/08/2015

Preciosa ruta alpina en la región suiza del Ticino que une los valles de Santa Maria y Piora, a través de un sendero con inmejorables vistas, sin grandes dificultades y bien señalizado.

Salimos de la localidad de Acquacalda (1750 m), donde hay un albergue y restaurante, Pro Natura, y enseguida comienza la subida, más intensa al principio, más llevadera después. Pasado Stabbio Nuovo conectamos con el Sentiero dei Passi Alpini que ya no abandonaremos hasta llegar al Lago Ritom.

Entre magníficas montañas y valles alcanzamos el Passo del Sole (2376 m) y desde aquí es dejarse caer hacia la Capanna Cadagno, perfectamente acondicionada, donde podemos comer e incluso dormir.

Continuando hacia el final de nuestra ruta, disfrutamos de las espectaculares vistas de los lagos, el Cadagno primero, y el Ritom después, que bordearemos por su lado oeste hacia la presa, donde se encuentra el Rifugio Ritom

Lovely alpine route in the Swiss region of Ticino, linking the valleys of Santa Maria and Piora, through a path with wonderful views, without much difficulty, well signposted.

We left the village of Acquacalda (1750 m), where the Pro Natura hostel and restaurant is, and then began the climb, harder at first, easier later on. Passing by Stabbio Nuovo we join the Sentiero dei Passi Alpini which we won't leave until Lake Ritom.

Among magnificent mountains and valleys we reach the Passo del Sole (2376 m) and from here it's just down to Capanna Cadagno perfectly equipped, where we can eat and even sleep.

Continuing towards the end of our route, we enjoy the spectacular views of the lakes, the Cadagno first, and then Ritom, which we border on its western side towards the dam, where we'll stop at the Rifugio Ritom.
