Via Alta Vallemaggia- Stage 8N: Capanna Cristallina-Rifugio Maria Luisa

The route starts with a descent towards the green Lago Sfundau and continues towards the deep blue Lago dei Cavagnöö in the middle of a rocky landscape. Ascending, the panorama opens onto the Bavona and the Vallemaggia, then we enter a hidden little valley that leads to the Passo Grandinagia. After descending a barren scree, there is a chapel whitewashed that in the Middle Ages welcomed pilgrims and merchants crossing the Alps. The route continues through Passo San Giacomo and on a gravel road closed to traffic along Lago Toggia to Rifugio Maria Luisa.
