Lagh dal Teo - Il gioiello ai piedi del Piz dal Teo

Al Teo is the name of a large rocky basin located on the western side of Piz al Teo. Here the mountain lake Lagh dal Teo shines. It is located well above the vegetation line, with no trees to obstruct the view of the crystal clear water.

The idyllic place is rather secluded and correspondingly solitary. This is not a short walk, but a longer hike. You will be rewarded with unique impressions of the landscape and magnificent views.

The route starts in the idyllic Val da Camp to the hamlet of Terzana, from where you climb steeply to the Munt da Franzesch heath, where the glacial flank of Piz Palü on the opposite side of the Poschiavo Valley is visible above the red and golden sedges.

From Aurafreida you first cross a sparse larch forest, then you overcome a rocky step to enter the Val dal Teo, from here you soon reach the banks of the Lagh dal Teo.

The return to the valley initially follows the same route as Aurafreida. Alternating open pastures and mountain woods, you descend to Motta and the beautiful alpine plateau of Pisceo, from where you reach Festignani and finally Pozzulasc.

There are two Lagh dal Teo lakes: a small step in the ground leads from the lower mountain lake to its smaller brother, a few tens of meters higher.

The route is marked as a mountain hiking trail (white-red-white, difficulty level T2). The starting point is the Postbus stop in Sfazù. Initially on a dirt road, then on natural paths all the way.
