Description

Hoi camping hikers :)

Let's enjoy the good weather this weekend and spend the night at the Lago Retico, with a little luck enjoying the sunset, night stars and sunrise.

Route:

Day 1: From Olivone, Bivio Sommascona bus stop at 11:50 up to Lago Retico. T2 to T3, 12.9km, 1698m up and 283m down, easy route with late start, because it should only take about 6h to get to the lake. Once there we can settle down, and we decided to carry some wood from the Capanna Bovarina area we can also make a nice fire.

Day 2: From Lago Retico all the way down to Acla la Fontauna, although we can reduce it if necessary, there are some bus stop on the way. T1 to T3, 21km, 462m up and 1644m down, which should take 6h.

Pace: Moderate pace, no need to rush with the camping gear weight.

Meeting point: Olivone, Bivio Sommascona bus stop at 11:50.

What to bring: Good shoes and hiking clothing, water, food, sleeping bag and mat, a tent or biwak bag, a head lamp, food for both days (we'll discuss in the group chat if people want to cook together, and who brings what, but you can also just bring your own just for yourself of course) and anything else you might need.

Sounds great :) and don't forget o be prepared against the nasty ticks, e.g. anti tick spray and/or long trousers. At least in the beginning. And on Sunday going down.
