Camperio - Gorda Trail (SwitzerlandMobile 457)

The itinerary (457 from SwitzerlandMobile – pink signage) starts from Camperio on the right side of the river, at the end of a straight stretch near a left curve, and follows the winding forest road that gently climbs through an enchanted fir forest.

Gradually you gain altitude and the view opening to the mountains in front is idyllic.

At Sgianaresc locality the road narrows and gives way to the path that passes next to some stone huts which, covered with snow, create a magical atmosphere.

The panorama becomes increasingly vast and you reach the wide pastures of the Gorda mountains where at 1804 meters above sea level is located the eponymous hut, almost always staffed even during winter to ensure a pleasant resting break. From here the view is spectacular over the mountain range and the entire valley floor.

The itinerary does not present particular technical difficulties, however the elevation difference and length require some physical preparation.

For the descent it is possible to use rental sledges departing from the Gorda hut, or the Gorda Express.

For those wishing to continue enjoying the majestic winter landscapes, from the Gorda hut you can reach the Punta di Larescia.

During the winter period Camperio can also be reached by public transport.
