Via Alta Vallemaggia - Stage 6E: Capanna Barone-Fusio

We find ourselves at the foot of the Pizzo Campo Tencia, a mountain-climbing and geographical focal point in the Alto Ticino. But we still have a way to go and we take advantage of the momentum to climb up through the larches. We simply have to stop at Piatto, a very apt name and the only plateau along the entire Via Alta, featuring a wonderful mosaic of little valleys, lakes, streams and grassy knolls. Just below is the Passo Fornale, the last obstacle of the day: on the opposite slope, the path marked out in white and red descends at a dizzying rate. We stop for a snack at Lake Mognola and complete the level walk to Fusio. After days of exciting adventures, we finally reach the warm welcome of an alpine village just waiting to be discovered.
