From the Rifugio Pian Grand you climb steeply up to the Fil de Boleta over passes, through breath-taking gaps in the mountains, through troughs and valleys, past lakes like Lac Trescolmen and «Herzlisee» lake to the main base, the Capanna Buffalora, which is the only manned and serviced hut in the Calanca valley.

Description
Our highlight for the following stage of the Sentiero Alpino Calanca:
- Lagh de Calvaresc: The Calvaresc Lake is known among south-alpine hikers as "the heart-shaped lake". This is because this beautiful body of water takes on its silhouette coming from the north and enchants the viewer.
Capanna Buffalora: It is the only staffed hut in Val Calanca, located high above the valley cut in a magnificent panoramic position on the southern edge of the huge basin between Dragiva/Calvaresc Lake and Pass de Buffalora.
Stages:
