WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Truzzo in Valchiavenna

A glacial mirror with an intense colour.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders and climb paths that work their way up through woods and scree, in deep silence, with the views opening step by step. The climb is progressive but firm, and leads to Lago del Truzzo: a glacial sheet of water with an intense colour, set among the mountains of the Valchiavenna. Here the mountains show themselves in their purest form, far from the crowded routes.

5 reasons to come - Lago del Truzzo and its intense colour - a valley away from the crowded circuits - the shift from woodland to scree - the deep silence of the Valchiavenna - views that open at every bend

Who it suits A progressive but firm climb with scree sections: good fitness and a sure step.

A genuine Valchiavenna experience: come with the Guidders.

Percorso molto bello, che segue la mulattiera costruita negli anni '20 per portare il materiale di costruzione per la diga. Il dislivello si fa sentire meno rispetto ad altri percorsi, essendo una mulattiera è abbastanza comodo da percorrere. Per buona parte del percorso si rimane in ombra, c'è una bella vista sulla vallata. Molto caratteristico il paese di partenza, il percorso non è molto frequentato
