Just the journey to the Ritom area is an experience. The Ritom railway, originally built for the construction of the hydroelectric power plant of the same name, today races along the pressure pipelines carrying passengers and reaches the mountain station Piora after a few minutes. From here an asphalt road leads gently uphill to the dam. Here the Lago Ritóm is used for power production. Those hiking in the Ritom area usually include Lago di Tom and Lago Cadagno besides Lago Ritóm in their hike. Because in Val Piora several water wonders are scattered across the landscape – creeks and streams, lakes and small lakes. This circular hike around Lago Ritóm is an easier and shorter option. Along the left shore of Lago Ritóm it is also possible with a stroller, at least up to the waterfall. With a normal stroller it is best to return on the same path from there or go a bit further to Capanna Cadagno; with an all-terrain stroller, a full lake circuit is quite feasible.
