    The route, which starts from Pianezza (Bus Autolinee stop), follows a pleasant secondary road that in winter is groomed by farm owners with their snowmobiles. It crosses the area of Larescia, Anzano, and Tecc Büsc with a continuous view of the Valle del Sole.

    The feeling of peace and tranquility along the entire route is wonderful: that is why some seek a secluded place away from the daily hustle just on these mountains!

    Tecc Büsc, the junction point of the Camperio-Rambött-Gorda winter trail, is indeed the ideal place for a short refreshing break where you can enjoy from above the various hamlets located south of the Municipality of Blenio as well as the surrounding mountain peaks.

    The route then continues through the dense fir forest whose steps lead steeply to Piancassinèla. The last kilometer gently rises again following the road that finally brings us to the Capanna di Gorda. The Capanna is also staffed in winter, offering accommodation and meals.

    To reach Pianezza, you can use the free winter transportation service Olivone-Campra (four runs daily), while for the descent it is possible to use rental sleds starting from Capanna Gorda, or the Gorda Express.
