Scenic pass that is opened all year round (closes at 6pm in winter). There is hardly any traffic which makes cycling very nice and plenty of opportunities to take pictures. We crossed the pass in early May when there was still plenty of snow up there. The change in scenery where it was all green at Disentis and slowly turning white as we climbed higher... and very quickly turned to green as we rolled down on the south side to Biasca was breathtaking.

The Lucomagno is one of the most famous Alpine passes in Switzerland. It is located between the cantons of Ticino and Grisons, at an altitude of 1,926 meters. The name seems to derive from the Latin "locus magnus", meaning "large, open place". It is often tackled in the professional race of the Tour of Switzerland.

We - over-60s with good mountain skills - descended from the Cabanna Cadlimo through the Val Cadlimo to the Lukmanier Pass. The common description that the route is mostly on easy-to-walk paths is a dangerous understatement. It goes over long stretches over boulder fields, which require very good surefootedness and balance. Then down over some smooth rock ledges, which are secured with chains. So it's not all that easy!

The hike from Piora over Lake Ritom to the Cadagna Hut and then over the Passo delle Columbe to the Lukmanier Pass road is highly recommended, especially at this time of year, even if the descent is a bit demanding on your legs. Please note, however: there is no internet connection in the Cadagna Hut, but you will find peace and quiet and freedom from the telephone.

Thank you for this outstanding article and for providing such valuable information. In recent days, I've been exploring a rather engaging game known as https://suikagame2.io/ ; give it a try if you're curious.

The Lukmanier Pass is located at almost 2,000 m above sea level between the Swiss cantons of Ticino and Grisons. It can be reached by crossing the Blenio valley which is the sunniest of the Swiss ones, therefore called "Valle del Sole".

The Capanna Bovarina is a modest-sized but very welcoming hut. It is located in the Alpe Bovarina park and offers a beautiful view of the Rheinwaldhorn and the imposing Luzzone dam.
