Hiking trails

All trails are marked. Times are always without breaks and are from "Schweizer Wanderwege" (https://www.schweizer-wanderwege.ch/). The trails have been classified as Easy Medium Strenuous ("Strenuous" for untrained hikers. This does not mean that the trails are difficult).

1) Campiroi-Audesc-Sorsello-Campiroi

Easy . The green arrow shows where the trail to Audesc starts, just after the first house of the "Monti di Co'". In Audesc you can stop to picnic at one of the two fountains.

Distance: 3.88 km

Ascent/descent: 449 m / 449 m

Altitude (Min/Max): 1234 m / 1640 m

Hiking time: 1 h 23 min

2) Campiroi-Frageira-Alpe Nara-Cassin-Audesc-Sorsello-Campiroi

Medium. The green arrow shows where the trail to Audesc starts, just after the first house of the "Monti di Co'". The yellow arrow shows the small part of the trail that gets lost in the meadows of the Alps. Just walk to the alp's huts! In summer cheese is sold there (a mixture of cheese between goat and cow). If you still feel like, you can walk to "Bassa di Nara", from where you have a beautiful view of the Blenio Valley.

Distance: 10.15 km

Ascent/descent: 868 m / 868 m

Altitude (Min/Max): 1234 m / 1935 m

Ascent/descent: 143 m / 143 m

Altitude (Min/Max): 1298 m / 1390 m

Hiking time: 49 min

4) Sobrio-Usc-Cascine-Puscett-Alpe Foppascia-Alpe dei Piai-Alpe Crastumo-Audesc-Sorsello-Campiroi

Strenous. Very nice views. From Campiroi to Calonico on foot then postbus from Calonico to Sobrio.

Distance: 14.5 km

Ascent/descent: 1094 m / 897 m

Altitude (Min/Max): 1129 m / 2027 m

5) "Strada alta": Campiroi-Sorsello-Tengia-Rossura-Figgione-Calpiogna-Osco-(Campello)-Rossura-Tengia-Paschirolo-Campiroi

Strenous. This route (Osco-Campiroi) is part of the "Strada Alta". The yellow arrow shows a self-service store (ice cream, various drinks). In Osco there is a restaurant where you can stop for lunch. The detour via Campello on the way back can be omitted. That would save about 250 m of height difference. Some sections of the trail were part of the old mule track and are partially preserved (see under "Historical Information" and then under "The Nara pass").

Alternative for the way back: in Osco you could take the post bus to Faido/Lavorgo and then to Calonico (make sure to check the times in advance in the SBB timetable!) and then walk to Campiroi.
