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.
