Hiking

The Piotta pass, immersed in spectacular Swiss nature, divides the Carassino valley from the Blenio valley.

Hiking

The gently rising Valley di Carassino ends above the abysses of the Val Soi. On the border ridge between the two valleys, at the lowest point, there is a pass crossing on which hiking trails lead from both sides: this is the Passo di Piotta (or del Termine), as it appears in some old texts and on the Siegfried map of 1872 was mentioned. Today's LK represents the Capella di Termine, which is located near the crossing and a little north of the Capanna Adula CAS. The paths to the pass are virtually identical to the hut paths.
