This winter hike allows you to explore the plain of Campra on the southern side of Lucomagno. An easy and flat path along the Brenno is the ideal option for those who love to rejuvenate among alder and fir woods.

The route extends through the plain of Campra, located in a sheltered position at about 1500 m above sea level, without significant elevation changes, always close to the slopes and the Brenno river.
Thanks to the geographical features of the area, it is possible to have consistently optimal snow conditions from early December until early April.
Starting from the Campra Nordic Center (easily reachable by bus), you head through the small areas called Chébia, Rispars, Piàn Pramuntài, Campra di Dentro until Pianca Bella, where you can spot some characteristic buildings that testify to the importance of agriculture in the so-called Sun Valley.
The environment is fairy-tale like, and it is easy to be completely absorbed by the nature and the surrounding landscape with typically northern characteristics. The alder and fir forests as well as the slow flow of the Brenno river, which always borders the path forming numerous water mirrors and meanders, make the atmosphere even more charming. Even if the plain of Campra is dressed in winter, you can imagine how beautiful it can be in summer. Included in a marshy area of particular beauty and national importance, it contains floodplains, swamps, peatlands, and other biotopes resting under a white blanket of snow.
The route returns along the same way. Being a protected area, it is mandatory to stay on the marked path and dogs must be kept on a leash. Once back at the Campra Nordic Center, it is worth taking a break, short or long: at the destination there is a modern hotel with a SPA and restaurant.
