Destination

Soglio

Turn-by-turn directions

The hike begins right at the corner of Palazzo Salis, in the main square of Soglio. You head up the slope behind the village, crossing the agricultural road a few times and then enter a larch and fir forest with tall trees. The partially diagonal path leads to the lower pastures of the wide terrace of Tombal (1530 m). The path continues to climb the green slopes and, after the huts at the upper end, enters again a beautiful coniferous forest, finally coming out on the terrace of Plan Vest (1821 m). The descent is along the same path.
