Ranzo-Covreto-Dirinella

Ranzo, located directly on the lakeshore, can be reached by train. The trail marked white-red-white climbs steeply through Sant'Abbondio, known for its crusty bread. A delightful stream flows through the valley, giving it a mystical charm. After the Monti di Sant'Abbondio and the Alpe Tempelina, you ascend in altitude to Monte Covreto. Along the Italian border, the descent begins towards Sasso Torricello. The path leads through the forest to the next stage, Alpetto Caviano, where the homonymous hut is located. It is a small unstaffed alpine hut (open from June to October) equipped with a kitchen and bathroom, cozy, and with a view that invites relaxation. The steep descent on the mule track leads to Cento Campi, where one can still admire an original example of a straw roof. It then descends towards the lake, to Dirinella, where it is possible to take the bus.
