Famiglia Ticino Lunga

From the Rodi-Posta bus stop, the trail begins with a warm-up through the quiet village streets of Fiesso. Soon, the real work starts. Follow the T3 trail as it snakes sharply up the mountainside in a relentless zigzag. The forest thickens, the valley drops away, and the views open up with every switchback.

This is a proper climb — expect to break a sweat. The path is steep and rocky at times, but well-marked and rewarding. You’ll gain over 1000 meters in just a few kilometers. Just when your legs start questioning your life choices, the turquoise shimmer of Lago Tremorgio appears through the trees.

A final push and you reach Capanna Tremorgio at 1850 meters. Grab a drink on the terrace, soak in the views, and breathe in that high mountain air. You’ve earned it.

From Capanna Tremorgio, you’ve got two tempting options. Fancy a scenic detour? Start your day by circling Lago Tremorgio on the panoramic trail. The water shimmers beside you as you trace the shoreline with alpine views in every direction. A perfect way to stretch the legs before heading into the wild.

Or take the direct route and dive straight into the climb. Follow the well-marked T2 trail as it heads south, gradually gaining height. The terrain becomes rougher, wilder, and rockier as you approach the Venett Pass, with Cima di Filo towering on your left. Keep an eye out for rare alpine flowers on the surrounding slopes.

After the pass, the path drops gently to Campolungo Alp, where the two trails meet. From here, it’s a peaceful descent to the shores of Lago di Leit and the welcoming Capanna Leit. Time for a hearty meal and a lakefront break — you’ve earned it, whichever way you came.
