Description
Thanks to its proximity to the Länta Hütte SAC and the Soreda Pass, the Pizzo Cassinello is one of the most climbed mountains in the Vals Valley. Quite rightly so as the surrounding world of glaciers and the views over the Ticino mountains into Valais and to the Bernese and Glarus Alps is spectacular.
The ascent from the Soreda Pass to the summit leads over impress gneiss slabs and light boulders. There can still be snow that covers the markings well into the summer. In good visibility the mountain does not provide you with any orientation problems though and the small lakes at the edge of the trail invite particularly brave alpine hikers to take a refreshing swim on their descent.
