Bovarinahütte-Lago Retico-Sasso Lanzone-Pass d' Uffiern-Pian Geirett-Scalettahütte

Start at the Bovarinahütte in the most beautiful morning light. Steep ascent over alpine pastures, becoming increasingly rocky, to Lago Retico. It is cold and windy here. A snake of fog drifts over the Cristallinapass. We are amazed by how large Lago Retico is. The trail continues to climb to just below the Cima di Garina. The path now becomes more alpine and demanding as it traverses to the Sasso Lanzone ridge. We pass a few exposed sections. However, the path is always very well marked and secured where necessary. Since the trail is also called the Steinbockweg, we actually see many ibex. The ridge soon widens again and the descent leads over boulder fields to the Pass d' Uffiern. Beautiful lake landscape. Now the long, steep descent to the Pian Geirett parking area begins. A road from Campo Blenio leads here. Now only the final ascent to the Scalettahütte remains.
