Traversata Leit - TenciaPhoto: Bellinzona e Valli Turismo
A fantastic route located in an area particularly rich in flora and geologically recognized and protected at the national level.
In the region you can admire alpine columbine, gentians, anemones, nigritellas, rhododendrons, mountain buttercups, and Haller's primroses.
Beautiful hike that allows you to make a circular route and to pass by the Leìt and Campo Tencia huts. From Dalpe, through the magnificent Boscobello, you climb to the Vanitt Pass. From here, following a nice panoramic trail, you reach the Leìt Hut. From the hut, after going around the small lake, you pass at the foot of Pizzo Prévât, a peak very dear to climbers and also called the "Cervinetto".
After passing the Passo Leìt and Lèì di Cima couloirs, you reach the Campo Tencia hut. The summit of Pizzo Campo Tencia, located at 3,072 meters, is the highest peak entirely in Ticino territory. Around the Campo Tencia Hut, an educational trail is under construction. The return route winds along the Piumogna Valley, characterized by its beautiful river and several alpine pastures.
To do this hike you can also start from Rodi-Fiesso (reachable from Airolo or Faido by bus). Then take the cable car up to Lake Tremorgio and from there follow the trail towards the Leìt Hut.
