Via Alta Vallemaggia - Stage 11: Capanna Piano delle Creste-Capanna Grossalp

For long sections of the route between Piano delle Creste and the Capanna Grossalp, the trail is nothing more than an imaginary line marked by blue-and-white signs and a few hiker symbols but with no clear trail visible or any other signs of passage. The route runs mainly through rocky terrain and vast, long stretches strewn with rocks and boulders. You feel as though you are passing through a forgotten landscape, one that is fascinating for its incredible variety of shades, shapes, sizes, surfaces and structures: an evocative gneiss landscape bejewelled with three magical pairs of lakes—Antabia, Cròsa and Formazzöö—and skilfully framed by a series of jagged ridges. Here, peace and tranquillity reign supreme. After you pass Bocchetta Formazzöö, the scenery changes as you enter the vibrant Bosco Gurin Valley, carpeted with lush green pastures.
