Description

Day 1: We spend the first part of the hike with the hikers who are aiming for Lake Toma and the Maighelshütte. On the way in Val Maighels we enjoy numerous natural beauties. In Plidutscha the Rhine ripples down to the valley as a small stream, the mountains are reflected in the lakes Lai Urlaun and Lai Carin, meandering watercourses are decorated with flowers and cotton grass and at Piogn Crap we dare to take a single step over the Rein da Maighels, which is here squeezes through a narrow crack in the rock. On the Grava plain we are expanding the large cairns colony with another specimen. Before the top of the pass, the vegetation becomes increasingly sparse. Firn lies on the slopes well into July and small, turquoise lakes form in the hollows. On the Passo Bornengo we have reached the cantonal border: Benvenuti in Ticino! We now leisurely descend around 200 meters to Pian Bornengo, and then back up to Capanna Cadlimo.

Day 2: We hike down the valley on the hut path through the Val Cadlimo and along the Reno di Medel. We take our time, because Val Cadlimo also has a lot of nature to offer with its wetlands, small lakes and lively stream. When we arrive at the Santa Maria reservoir, we end the tour on a road to the hospice.

Geheimtipp

Near the hut there are two more small lakes, ideal for a walk before or after dinner. And keep your eyes open - we are in a Capricorn territory!

Sicherheitshinweis

Until July, snow fields can be found on the north side of passo Bornengo.  Steep descent to Pian Bornengo.
