The route starts from the large parking area located in the Bollette area, just before the well-known winter destination of Campra, and, following the appropriate signage, you set off on the path leading to Dötra.
The section is mainly uphill but has a moderate elevation gain, surrounded by a charming spruce forest and small streams: the environment is truly fairy-tale-like, and it is easy to become completely absorbed by nature and the surrounding landscape.
After the forest, at Calzaníg, the panorama opens up before your eyes, and a wide view over the vast meadows of Dötra and the beautiful mountains of the upper Blenio Valley will captivate everyone, allowing you to reach the destination in a short time and forget all fatigue.
Dötra is a picturesque alpine hamlet of great charm located at about 1,750 meters altitude.
Here you will find the eponymous hut and a Grotto, ideal for a refreshing break and tasting local products.
The route is well signposted and suitable for both beginners and more experienced hikers.
Public transport is operational even during the winter period up to Campra.
This route is equally enjoyable to walk during the summer period and to reach further beautiful destinations.
