Hiking grade: T3+, not suitable for complete beginners.
Hike with views of several lakes like Lago Ritom, Lago Di Dentro, Lago Scuro...
We will also pass along Capanna Cadagno and hopefully have lunch break/picnic (if possible) at Capanna Cadlimo (2570masl)
Time Frame:
9:20 around this give or take
18:00 finish or earlier, depends on pace mood and if we stop for some very refreshing dip on some of the mountain lakes.
Meeting point
Parkplatz Ritom
I will arrive by car, for the ones coming by public transport, I believe you will need to take the 6:05 Zürich HB connection towards Airolo, you take eventually a funicular to Piora. Then you will walk 1.5km (20min) to the parking lot near the Lake Ritom.
For the others coming from elsewhere adjust accordingly targeting being there at around 9AM.
Hike details:
We do a circuit around Lake Ritom plus several little mountain lakes. Going up all the way to Capanna Cadlimo. There's a section after Capanna Cadagno on the way up to Bocchetta della Miniera rated as T3+ as it is rocky and steep. I don't imagine it being too problematic.
Pace: Moderate in the sense that we can enjoy a little the scenery, take pictures...
Picnic:
Picnic along the way, not sure yet where or if we just stop at Cadlimohütte.
Equipment:
Enough water
Hiking shoes
Hiking poles (if you need it)
Food
Good mood
Appropriate clothing for the conditions
Application:
As always there is the possibility to come by car.
Join the car pool and either create a car yourself or have a look who can take you there.
For those who come by public transport please create a "car" in the carpool with around 30 seats and use "public transport" as a description. That way others can join that one and we keep a good overview.
If that one is full, create another one with 30 seats please.
