Ethnographic circular route Odro

There are fifteen stations that can be visited on the circular route. The path leads steeply from the village of Vogorno up to Odro, past the chapel in Colletta or the long ridge path that separates the Valle del Molino from the Valle della Porta. In the Maiensäss Odro, wild haymaking was carried out in the past. In the Verzascatal, where the pastures on the valley floor are scarce, the grass areas on the mountain slopes were very valuable. It was a hard and often dangerous job. When the cows and goats did not give milk, they were fed with wild hay, which was of lower quality. The agricultural activity, as is still practiced today in Odro, combined with agritourism, which offers catering and accommodation, makes this Maiensäss an environmentally sustainable tourism model. The highest point of the tour is the Alp Bardughè, a high plateau located at 1600 meters. The way back down to Vogorno leads steeply through beech and chestnut forests, a journey back into the past and at the same time a natural experience.
