Description

San Bernardino is the main tourist destination of the Mesolcina, established in the nineteenth century for its healthy mountain climate and the healing virtues of its mineral water. The environmental peculiarities of the area, with pine forests, peat bogs, lakes and the various possibilities for recreation make it the ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and nature. From the village you go up to the pass (2065 m) where you will find the Hospice, built in 1824-25 on the shore of the lake from which the Moesa river originates. The path crosses the excellently restored carriage road several times; the remains of the mule track modernized in the eighteenth century are also clearly visible. On both streets you can admire the construction techniques and various artifacts. The area of the pass, wide and flat, is characterized by rounded reliefs, shaped by glaciers, which enclose numerous lakes and marshes of rare charm, an ideal habitat for a flora of great naturalistic interest.

2 hours of walking, 5 km, 457 m of elevation gain.
