Through hamlets and forests to the cabin
Normally Capanna Bovarina is accessed from the east, from Campo Blenio. From the village at the uppermost part of Valle di Blenio a narrow road winds its way up to Alpe Predasca (sometimes on the map still named Pradasca). The road is open to the public; you could therefore drive there by car or taxi and hike to the cabin in 30 minutes. However, here we want to recommend the ascent from the very bottom, still from Campo Blenio, all the way on foot: beautiful forests, open pastures and quaint hamlets make for a landscape worth seeing and hiking through.
Route description
Campo Blenio – Capanna Bovarina
From the bus stop Campo Blenio go westward into the village and on the marked trail ascend to the hamlet Pianchera. Now hike on the small road via Calcarida to Orsaira di Fuori and di Dentro. Briefly after the bridge P. 1463 leave the road to take a mountain trail to the right, which ascends through Larici («larch wood»), crossing the road a few times, to Ronco di Gualdo (1573 m). Then the trail leads to a bridge, crosses a creek and ascends through the beautiful forest of Pradorin to Capanna Bovarina, which is located on a plateau slightly above the timber line.
