Lake Ritom

Highlight • Lake

A circumnavigation of the lake is very easy to do, the north bank is a gravel road and there is a great single trail opposite. The route can also be combined with a detour to Lago Cadagno or Lago Tom.

View of Lago di Tom

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the snowless winter and dry summer of 2022, this lake was practically empty. The dam wall was completely out of the water, so it had no function.

Lake Tom

Highlight • Lake

The highlight is twice in here but too beautiful not to be rated as a highlight. Sometimes it is difficult to find the right paths on the lake. From the Piora mountain station of the Ritombahn you can walk to Lake Tom in around one and a half hours. A great, around three-hour circular hike brings hikers from Piora via Ritomsee and Cadagnosee to Tomsee and back (3-lake hike Piora).

Laghetto di Taneda Superiore

Highlight • Lake

The Laghetto di Taneda superiore is 2303 meters above sea level and thus almost 60m above the Laghetto di Taneda inferiore. The two lakes are located on a plateau between Poncioni Negri to the west and Pizzo Taneda to the east. A stream flows from the upper Taneda lake into the Lago di Tom.

Lago Scuro

Highlight • Lake

Lago Scuro is a mountain lake in the Ticino municipality of Quinto. It lies at 2450 meters above sea level north of the Scurosee Pass (“Bassa del Lago Scuro”). On the other, southern side of the pass is the larger Lago Ritom. The Rein da Medel ("Medelser Rhein") flows out of Lago Scuro and flows into the Lai di Sontga Maria at the Lukmanier Pass. Scuro means dark in German. The mountain lake means "dark lake".

Cadlimo Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

We - over-60s with good mountain skills - descended from the Cabanna Cadlimo through the Val Cadlimo to the Lukmanier Pass. The common description that the route is mostly on easy-to-walk paths is a dangerous understatement. It goes over long stretches over boulder fields, which require very good surefootedness and balance. Then down over some smooth rock ledges, which are secured with chains. So it's not all that easy!
