Description

At "tec" begins the path to the Leggia valley, steep and wild, but also very romantic. For Val Cama, on the other hand, we start from Ogreda.

Starting from "tec" you will meet a path that branches off on the left towards the Chapel of San Remigio, located on a panoramic hill at 549 meters above sea level. However, you have to continue straight without taking this detour, instead continuing towards Alp de Dara and then reaching Alp de Mea, located at 1861 meters above sea level. After a challenging climb, you reach the Segnale pass, which offers breathtaking views of Pizzo Paglia and Sass Mogn, which overlook the upper part of the Leggia valley. After passing Alp de Vazzola, you find yourself in a beautiful buola valley where the well-known Lagh de Cama is set at an altitude of 1200 meters.
