The pasturelands of Val Piora form a high cradle in the northern Lepontines between Valle Leventina and Valle Santa Maria. Bounded by accessible mountains of modest height, sparkling with tarns, and with a number of easy passes leading to neighbouring glens, the valley offers innumerable opportunities for the walker and lover of fine scenery. In this wonderland sits Capanna Cadagno, a comfortable and very popular hut at a junction of trails. There are several ways to it; some long and convoluted, others short and undemanding. The route offered here is relatively straightforward, but is one on which few other walkers are likely to be met – despite its many attractions.
