Hiking

Some hiking trails are easily accessible from the campsite on foot or by car. The area is perfect for people who look for an uncontaminated forest and beautiful views.

1 Alpe Cingora (1283 m)
You can reach the “Alpeggio” directly by foot from the Campsite passing through the village of San Carlo.
2 Alpe Rausa (1690 m)
You can start by walk from the Campsite, but we suggest to drive until Alpe Soi to enjoy a nicer and easier hike.
3 Lago di Baranca (1839 m)
Visit the ruins of Villa Aprilia and try to figure out how difficult it was to build without a road!
4 Pizzo San Martino (2700 m)
From Vanzone (656 m) to the highest peak of the valley after Monte Rosa. Enjoy the view!

Hiking

From Macugnaga (15 minutes by car from the campsite) where you can reach:

1 Passo di Monte Moro (2.868 m s.l.m.)

You can take advantage of the old fashioned cable tram to go there!
What a view on the Monte Rosa!
2 Ghiacciaio del Belvedere (1950 m)
