Walk alongside the three refuges, Zoia, Ca’ Runcasch and Cristina as you head for the panoramic point over Valmalenco or the frozen lake of Campagneda. 

Set out on a panoramic excursion from Passo della Forcora, where you can admire the incredible panorama over the Swiss and Italian Alps from the natural balcony of Monterecchio. Discover loop itineraries like the Percorso dei Fiocchi, or continue up to the sunny peaks of Monte Avaro. Enjoy the wide open spaces of the Piani di Artavaggio in Valsassina don’t forget to try the typical torta di fregoloti cake. 

Every route can guarantee one fundamental element: a stunning natural panorama, immersed in bright white snow.
