Via Alta della Verzasca

The completion of the fifth hut – la Cornavòsa – in 2010 marked the restoration of all the bases on the Via Alta della Verzasca (high Verzasca trail). The Via Alta follows the majestic crest of the ridge between Verzasca, Riviera and Leventina, providing experienced mountaineers with a 4/5 day hike through an unspoilt and contrasting landscape. You will pass through the striking low lying areas at the bottom of the valley to the open spaces of the peaks with stunning panoramas, which are home to wild and fascinating flora and fauna. You can also discover some of Ticino’s most beautiful summits, for example Pizzo di Vogorno, balcone del Verbano, Poncione Rosso, majestic and unmistakeable, or Pizzo Barone, Verzasca's highest peak.
