WHY THIS HIKE

Lakes Antrona and Campliccioli in Val d'Ossola

A surprising itinerary in the splendid Antrona Valley: starting from Lake Antrona, formed by a tragic landslide in 1642, surrounded by woods and Alpine panoramas. We continue along an ancient railway line, between tunnels dug into the mountain and disused tracks, until we reach the fascinating and wilder Lake Campliccioli, immersed in the silence and rugged beauty of the Alps. The two lakes have in common the magnificent shades of green and blue that reflect the green slopes and the sky. Upon returning from our circular tour, for those who want, you can make a detour to the scenic Sajont Waterfall, which plunges thunderously into the lake. A pleasant excursion with a gentle rhythm among nature, history and precious waters.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
