    The "Alps of Lucomagno" route is a circular trail that allows you to discover the alpine pastures of the region. Starting from Acquacalda, following the specific signpost number 7, you reach in succession the old and new alpine pastures of Alpe Pian Segno, Alpe Gana, Alpe Croce, Alpe Pertusio, Alpe Casaccia, Alpe Sanprou and Alpe Pozzetta.

    Alpe Pian Segno, Alpe Casaccia, Alpe Pertusio and Alpe Croce are still in operation and it is possible to buy their dairy products directly.

    Along the way, you can observe houses with stone slab roofs, characteristic fountains, mobile milking wagons, limestone walls below which the Brenno river is born (Alpe Pertusio), as well as walk around the cembran pine forest of Selvasecca: the largest cembran pine forest south of the Alps.
