WHY THIS HIKE

Capanna Meden between Valtellina and Val Poschiavo

An isolated hut on the border with the Val Poschiavo.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Prato Valentino, above Teglio, and follow the Sentiero Italia CAI towards the Passo Meden: woods, pastures and long panoramic traverses with an open view over the Valtellina Orobie and the whole valley. The objective is Capanna Meden, one of the most appealing huts in the upper Valtellina: isolated, panoramic, looking straight out over the divide between Valtellina and Val Poschiavo, in country that is still genuinely wild.

5 reasons to come - Capanna Meden, isolated and panoramic - the long traverse with a view along the whole valley - the Passo Meden, on the Val Poschiavo border - a stretch of the Sentiero Italia CAI - the Valtellina Orobie opposite you the whole way

Who it suits A long route on mountain path: good fitness and a sure step on the traverses.

A hut few people know: come and find it with the Guidders.
