Via Alta Vallemaggia

Hiking is about much more than just following the ridges. However, the topography between Alzasca and Canaa levels out just enough to offer a panoramic view from atop the mountain ridge: the trail from Bocchetta di Doia alternates between wide, comfortable sections and others that are more craggy and exposed. The route covers terrain of varying elevations and runs along the ridge between the Vallemaggia and Onsernone valleys, except for a crag that requires a detour along a ledge using the chains provided. The very attractive ridge ends at Pizzo Cramalina, a striking peak and the highest in the Lodano Valley. At the foot of the mountain you can already see the farmhouses of Canaa, restored in accordance with the building traditions of Alpine farmers: Created from abandoned buildings, the mountain lodge is a gem: an oasis of tranquillity.
