Via Alta della Verzasca - Stage 5: Capanna Cognora-Capanna Barone

The last stage goes up and down through the peaks, from Cognora mountain hut to the Barone refuge. It lasts about four hours with an altitude difference of 730 m. We highly recommend the ascent from Barone mountain hut to Barone lake, a 30 min detour which is well worth the effort as you find a mountain paradise where you can recharge your batteries in the splendid waters of the alpine lake. It is rated T4 on the scale of difficulty for hiking tours.
