In this varied terrain, with views of Pizzo Campo Tencia and Monte Zucchero, we make a crossing from north to south. Along the way, we sleep in beautifully located mountain huts and also spend a night in an unattended hut. The trip starts in the easily accessible Airolo, located on the Italian side of the Gotthard tunnel. In six days, we trek from north to south, hiking under Pizzo Campolungo and along Pizzo Forno to our final destination Lavorgo. Along the way, we try to summit peaks where possible and have plenty of time to take a well-deserved break at one of the many mountain lakes. A beautiful trip for a first acquaintance with the stunning Ticino and the experience of a hut-to-hut hike.
