ランツァーダの峠・トップ20

not very big but with 9 beds

We started from Prato Valentino, a long but not demanding route. Very beautiful! Also, despite it being November, the temperatures were around 20 degrees

Lago Bianco, Bernina Pass at 2234 meters The Lago Bianco is a reservoir at the Bernina Pass and is located in the area of the municipalities of Pontresina and Poschiavo. The lake is located directly at the pass at 2234 meters above sea level. The Lago Bianco is bordered by two dams on its north and south sides and is around three kilometers long and about 800m wide. When filled to its maximum, the depth of the Lago Bianco is over 50 meters. The reservoir on the Bernina Pass is fed by various mountain streams and glacier water, while the Cavagliasch in particular leaves the lake. The whitish, somewhat milky-looking Lago Bianco gets its name (in German "White Lake") from the inflow of sand and glacier water. The Bernina Hospice (Ospizio Bernina) is located on the western shore of Lago Bianco, and the Rhaetian Railway's train line - the Bernina Express - also runs directly along the shore. The Bernina Pass road is also located on the western side, but not directly on the lake shore. In cold winters, the lake can freeze over and in some years the beautiful black ice forms. When the reservoir is then opened by the authorities, nothing stands in the way of ice skating on Lago Bianco. Text / Source: Schweizersee.ch https://www.schweizersee.ch/lago_bianco_pontresina/

Excellent halfway point for sky running lovers. If you arrive from Val Poschiavino there is a short passage on easy rocks, before arriving at the area with the lakes below (always on the Swiss-Italian border). Arriving from the Campagneda lakes the path becomes difficult to climb, with some sections of debris, but quite simple to follow, always paying attention. From Switzerland you can also get there by MTB, but due to the morphology of the other paths it is advisable to return from where you arrived.

Photo under the arch: a must

Well-kept bivouac with 9 places (3 bunk beds for 3 beds), with availability of mattresses, pillows and blankets. Inside there is a small table, gas stoves (cans present for emergencies), pots and plates. Nearby the only source of water are streams for which you have to walk a few minutes. Around the bivouac there are also excellent flat spaces to pitch a tent.

It connects the Poschiavina valley with the Cristina and Ca Runcasch refuges

The flat pass of Colle d'Anzana offers a fantastic panorama and marks the border between Switzerland and Italy, uniting Valposchiavo with Teglio in Valtellina. It is one of the easiest steps to pass from Italy to Switzerland and has therefore always been linked to smuggling. During the Second World War, it was one of the most frequent escape routes chosen by Jews fleeing from Italy.
