This is a very easy-going, relaxing trail, one that you can savour at a leisurely pace. Your first stop is at Corte Grande, followed by a longer well-deserved second stop at Piatto, dotted with small lakes. The third stop is at the spectacular Passo Fornale, and the fourth on the shores of Lake Mognola for a packed lunch, feet dipped in the water as you take in the intense blueness around you. You might even want to take a nap.
The hardest challenge of the day will be to leave this enchanting spot. The fifth stop is at the small Alpine museum at Corte Mognola, and the sixth at Vacarisc di Fuori to buy some cheese. For a longer hike with fewer stops, you can take the turning for Canà at Lake Mognola to visit an extraordinary stone aqueduct. Your final stop will be at the terrace at Fusio, where you can take off your boots and relax with a glass in hand, a wonderful aroma emanating from the kitchen and a comfortable bed awaiting you: the perfect end to a perfect day!

The Via Alta Vallemaggia alternates between mountain trails (T3) and Alpine routes (T4-T5–) and includes short exposed stretches (risk of falling) and climbing sections. The trickier sections are often equipped with chains or staples.
Some huts open as early as June, when the connecting sections are usually still covered in snow. Generally, the best season for trekking is between July and September/October. However, even in the height of summer, you are advised to contact the guardians to check the state of the route. Overnight stays must be booked in advance in order to avoid unpleasant surprises and find oneself without accommodation.
The following are therefore required:
Good experience in the alpine environment Good physical condition Detailed planning (current conditions, weather forecast etc.) Sure-footedness off the marked trails and a head for heights
Not to be underestimated:
High elevation Sudden weather changes Presence of snow at the beginning of the season Trekking time (particularly when hiking in large groups) Often no mobile coverage Lack of drinking water sources along some sections
Swiss REGA air ambulance service: 1414
Generaly emergencies (international): 112
When you call 112, your call is automatically transferred to the relevant emergency unit (ambulance, police and fire brigade). 112 can be called via the GSM network even if your SIM card or mobile phone are blocked. In virtually all countries, 112 works on a GSM network. Outside Switzerland, it also works without a SIM card.
In an emergency:
Keep calm Protect injured persons and people in difficulty from further danger, the cold and bad weather Lend first aid Call for help and start rescue operations; never leave injured persons alone Think about your own safety, too
From here you have the option of continuing on the north 7N (link)/8N (link) or south route 7S (link)/8S (link)/9S (link).
