Description

At "tec" the path to Val Leggia begins, steep and wild, but also very romantic. For Val Cama, instead, you start from Ogreda.

Starting from "tec" you encounter a path that branches off to the left towards the Chapel of San Remigio, located on a panoramic hill at 549 meters above sea level. However, you need to continue straight without taking this detour, instead continuing towards Alp de Dara and then reaching Alp de Mea, located at 1861 meters above sea level. After a demanding climb, you reach the Segnale pass which offers breathtaking panoramic views of Pizzo Paglia and Sass Mogn, which overlook the upper part of Val Leggia. After passing Alp de Vazzola, you find yourself in a beautiful bucolic valley where the famous Lago di Cama is nestled at 1200 meters above sea level.
