Circular path in a charming mountain setting. A white-red route truly unmissable for nature lovers and enthusiasts of the Ticino tradition.
After a few minutes walking on the drivable paved road, you arrive from the characteristic village of Cimalmotto at the starting point of this route. Apart from a short initial climb, the path immediately descends to the Piano della Stufa, followed by an ascent to Alpe Magnello, with an elevation gain of 400 meters.
The richness of nature allows you to distract yourself from the physical effort and, almost without noticing, you have already reached the summit. Alpe Magnello lies at 1808 m above sea level, on the Italian border, and is one of the few alpine farms in the Valle di Campo still active: a true blend of tradition and culture! During the summer months, it is possible to observe cheese production and choose from a wide range of fresh products for sale.
On the way back, you cross the Ri di Magnello before descending to Fontanella and returning to the starting point at Cimalmotto. Check the bus schedule to and from Cimalmotto in advance.
