    Completed in a single day (7 hr), including the detour due to trail closure near Oberalppass. Outdooractive indicates a section of T4 trail near the Bornengo Pass, but I think that it’s only T3.

    A small section of the trail is T4 (blue and white, Alpine hiking trail), but was not particularly dangerous or technical.

    Ich bin die Route ziemlich genau so abgelaufen, allerdings mit Hüttenübernachtungen. Hier ist die Hüttenversion: Alpenüberquerung Bodensee > Lago Maggiore mit Hüttenübernachtung

    Sehr schöne Tour. Gehzeit beträgt 4.5 Stunden. Höhenunterschied maximal 400 Meter. Momentan ist der Stausee fast leer wegen Renovierungsarbeiten, das tut der Schönheit dieses Weges aber keinen Abbruch. Habe die Tour auf der der Staumauer gegenüberliegenden Seite begonnen und bin dann bis zur Alp gewandert. Von da hoch zum Pass und auf den nebenliegenden Gipfel. Sehr schöne Aussicht ins Tal, in der die alte Gotthardstrecke und auch die Autobahn verläuft. Ich würde die Tour nicht am Wochenende machen wollen, da der Andrang evtl zu groß ist. Auch die Fahrt mit der Standseilbahn ist eine Reise wert!

    Super Wanderung in der Leventina! Zwischendurch ein schönes Grotto zum einkehren. 3 Bergseen zum ansschauen und geniessen! Knapp an der Baumgrenze, aber immer noch mit viel Bäume und Wald.
