A steep but varied mountain pass crossingOn the west side of the Leventina, the large valley carved by the Ticino river, there is a magnificent high-altitude route that leaves nothing to be desired – with charming alpine settlements still in use, three staffed huts, and two deeply carved mountain lakes. All of this is set amidst a dramatic high mountain landscape. Even if we leave the main peak of this mountain region, the Pizzo Campo Tencia at over 3000 meters altitude, to the side: This circular tour over two passes of considerable height guarantees an impressive mountain experience that can also be comfortably spread over two or even three days.
