Explanation
In two days from the farthest corner of the Onsernone Valley to Centovalli. An exciting two-day tour in the heart of impressive mountain scenery and the Onsernone forest reserve.
By bus or car to Spruga, the last village of the Onsernone Valley. In Spruga, cross the river Isorno before the climb to Alpe Ruscada. As far as Casón, the path climbs pleasantly among the beech trees of the Onsernone forest reserve. Below Pizzo di Mezzodì to Alpe Ruscada. Continue to Capellone, the highest point of the tour (possibility of climbing Pizzo Ruscada) and along the ridge down to Corte Nuovo (June-October overnight stay possible in the refuge). Up and down to PIanasc and Monte Comino (from April-October the cable car runs to Verdasio station), passing the church Madonna della Segna and the peat pit. The guesthouse Alla Capanna offers every comfort for the night, including meals. The traverse to Alp Mött Dürai leads past steep slopes. Down to Costa (Grottino Costa Funivia) and via Pila to Intragna, where the Centovalli Railway (Locarno-Domodossola) runs.
Attention: The Intragna-Pila-Costa cable car is closed until further notice due to renovation work. Information is available at www.ascona-locarno.com/funivia-intragna or at our Info Desks.
