Mountain hut Alpe NimiPhoto: Ascona-Locarno Tourism
The white-red loop path continuously ascends and the vegetation constantly changes: leaves turn into needles and meadows into rock.
Using steps you reach the ancient stone bridge "Gialìtt" after Archeggio, then continue zigzagging along the well-beaten path beyond Capellona, up to Alpe Nimi and the eponymous refuge.
Once arrived, you will face a dream view that immediately makes you forget the hardships of the exhausting climb: it is time to relax and immerse yourself in nature.
The refuge is open all year but manned only from mid-June to mid-September; it is furnished with extreme simplicity, yet with great charm.
Among abandoned and still inhabited mountain pastures, diverse landscapes and recurring viewpoints, the descent will not pose any problem either.
