Oltre a molti rifugi della Valmalenco, facilmente raggiungibile dalle famiglie e da chi per la prima volta si avvicina al mondo dell'escursionismo, segnaliamo di seguito qualche semplice itinerario adatto a tutti.

I maggenghi di Caspoggio Sant'Antonio (1337 m) or la Motta (1480 m)
From the centre of Caspoggio one can reach Negrini district and visit the “truna”, one of the most important ethnographic curiosities in Caspoggio. Carry on an excavated road to the houses of Sant’Antonio where a characteristic church dominates the pastures near to the two chair lifts. From there, continue on the path called "Sentiero del latte" (“milky path”) to La Motta of Caspoggio where you can enjoy a panoramic sight on the bottom of the valley. The return can be done along the same itinerary or, very advisable, go down toward Prabello – Santa Elisabetta in order to do a loop. There you will find a small alpaca breeding from where you take again the path back to Negrini district.
La civiltà della pietra ollare
Difference in altitude: 374 m - Route time: 3h - At the entry of Primolo (bus stop) starts the mule track that forwards in the wood of larches with some turns and then a level land. After passing two valleys and a bump, you can enjoy a beautiful sight on Valmalenco and Pizzo Scalino. Leave the path to Pradaccio to the right and go on close to the old water lathe for the manufacturing of the “ollare” stone, after crossing the stream Sassersa. Passing the panoramic viewpoint called “Crun”, you will get to the extractive place and from there you can carry on to the beautiful lake of Alpe Pirlo. Follow the path on the left and go down to Primolo from the same itinerary of ascent.
Giro dei tre ponti
Difference in altitude: 70m - Route time: 1h - Reach Pian del Lupo from Chiareggio andovercome the bridge on the stream that goes downfrom the Muretto valley. For a short time, you findyourself on the path of Alta Via.When you pass the bridge just after the confluenceof Sissone and Ventina streams, take the paththat goes along the river towards the valley tillthe bridge that gives access to the road to AlpeVentina, where the ring finds its end.
Il faggio secolare di Lanzada
Difference: 100 m - Route time: 2.30 h - Brief and pleasant walk suitable for everybody especially during the winter because well exposed to the sun and repaired from the winds. Reach Pedrotti district from Curlo district. From there, take a path that cuts the mountain with a beautiful view over the valley. Along the path you cannot miss an ancient beech close to Lanzada. As you reach Moizi district or Lanzada (just further), it is possible to come back to Vassalini in a loop. The path that goes down to Lanzada emerges close to the hotel Mirage and from there it is possible to come back along a path for both bikes and pedestrians that runs along the stream Lanterna. If you prefer, it is possible to carry on till Tornadri to come back from the same path.
La val Poschiavina
Difference in altitude: 200 m - Route time: 2.20 h - From Alpe Gera dam parking, go on to the top of it and take the mule track that goes along the lake up to the crossroads for Alpe Gembrè, the tour of the lake and Bignami hut. The valley is wide and flat, cut by the river and surrounded by numerous cliffs for climbing.
All’alpe Entova
Difference in altitude: 450 m - Route time: 3h - From hotel Sasso Nero, the path starts at the second turn (on the right) and then follows a mule track through the pastures under Braccia. From there, at the crossroad, leave the path that leads to Palolungo on the left and carry on through the pastures and the woods where you meet the excavated road that comes from S. Giuseppe. Through the woods, go along the stream Entovasco up to Entova Alp. The way back can be done from the same itinerary of ascent or from the road that leads from San Giuseppe to Entova.
L’Alpe dell'Oro
Difference in altitude: 400 m - Route time: 3h - From Chiareggio the path follows the military road to the Muretto Pass. Passing through Pian del Lupo, carry on to the right along ample turns. As you climb, the vegetation becomes sparser showing to the sight the Val Sissone with Mount Disgrazia, the Cima di Rosso, the Vazzeda and Monte del Forno. The golden Alp is on a natural balcony at 2000 m. From the Golden Alp the panorama becomes wider to the tops of Ventina and Sissone valleys, Pizzo Cassandra and the whole group of Disgrazia. The return can be done following the same itinerary of ascent or with a marvellous crossing, warmly recommended. In this case, the itinerary becomes longer, nearly 1.30 h to reach Alpeggio di Fora and 45 minutes more to go down to Chiareggio.
