モエサの峠・トップ16

From Hinterrhein, the climb to the San Bernardino Pass begins immediately with several switchbacks that quickly take you uphill. You'll enjoy beautiful views of the valley before your handlebars head for the pass. The long road before the summit leads you through a gray-green landscape of rocks and meadows, revealing a view of the aging hospice just before the end. At Laghetto Moesola at 2,066 meters, you've made it.

One of the most beautiful passes IMHO! Very long from the south, never too steep (if you stay on the main road: do not take the bike path after Mesocco!), and you will experience the vegetation transitioning from palm trees to alpine climate! The S. Bernardino village is a bonus, take the chance to eat something and get a water refill before the last push.

The Passit Pass (2082 m) is at the crossroads of various paths. From the pass you can admire the two lakes of the same name at the foot of the Fopela and Piz Arbeola peaks.

The Bocchetta di Camedo allows you to connect the Val d'Aiàn and the Valle Fiumetto (Lombardy). On clear days on the Italian side the view reaches as far as Lake Como, and from the The view towards Italy is unfortunately spoiled by mist, on a clear day you would see Lake Como, on the other the slopes of Cima di Paina or Cima dello Stagn.

The Bocchetta d'Agnon (or Cama), at an altitude of 2269, allows you to reach the Valle di Cama from Val Darengo. Since the 19th century, the route has been used by smugglers, the spalloni, for their border trade between Italy and Switzerland.

The Passo del Segnale di Vazzola (2108 m) allows you to pass from the Val di Cama to the Val di Leggia and vice versa.

The San Bernardino Pass connects the Hinterrhein Valley of Graubünden with the Misoncino. The pass overlooks the beautiful Moesola lake and is the starting point for numerous summer and winter excursions.

From Passo di Passit (2082 m) you can admire the two Passit lakes at the foot of the Fopela and Piz Arbeola peaks.
