Passo dell'Uomo – Passo del Sole – Olivone

We start at the top of the Lukmanier Pass into Val Termine. The military road to the Passo dell'uomo has been expanded and is now more drivable.  After the pass, we soon switch to a single trail and cross the western flank of the Pizzo delle Colombe ( Campanitt). It is not snow that dazzles us on the way, but the dolomite, which fills gullies and paths in the form of sugar or lies in chunks on the meadows.

After the Passo del sole, a gentle valley, green alpine meadows as far as the eye can see and a small lake, Lago dei Canali, awaits us. And we have an unobstructed view of the Rheinwaldhorn with its eternal snow.

Let's go - on the long, very long descent to Olivone. Always on the left side of the Ri di lareccio we let it roll until we reach the tree line with gnarled larches and alpine rose bushes. Before Alp Lareccio we have to turn right and follow a steeper path towards Stabbio Vecchio. On a road via Pian Segno it gets a little more comfortable again for a while, then we cross the pass road and change again to a single trail. We are now on the historic pass route of muleteers and traders, on the Via Romana, which leads to Olivone . The landscape is very varied, we drive through floodplain and fir forests, along streams and past pretty rusticis. Particularly worth seeing is Sommascona, from where only a few minutes separate us from Olivone.

By bus we return to the Lukmanier Pass.

Refreshment stops along the way Campra and Camperio

From the Lukmanier Pass we follow the bike route into Val Termine to the Passo dell'uomo. We stay on the road, which continues in a westerly direction. This is followed by a turnoff to the left onto the hiking trail to Passo del sole. Downhill on the marked hiking trail until just before Lareccio. Turn right and turn right again at the next hiking trail sign. This is followed by the descent to Stabbio vecchio. We meet a road and follow it to Stabbio nuovo. Approx. 200 meters before the pass road we turn right onto the hiking trail. We come to the pass road. On the other side of the road we find the hiking trail to Campra. In Campra we cross under the pass road and turn right onto a road. This ends in Ör da Pü and continues downhill on a hiking trail. In Camperio we follow the signs for Sommascona and Olivone.
