From the Badile overlooking Bondo with the Cengalo next to it, we will take you between peaks and glaciers to Poschiavo, passing by the top of Castello, the Palù, the Diavolezza and other enchanting landscapes and cozy huts. We will set off from Casaccia to discover the Bergell region. We will circumvent the Cengalo and its landslide, a still open wound in one of the most beautiful alpine areas in Switzerland. For the first time in four editions, our route will run only above 2,000 meters, we will bivouac above 3,000 meters and we will reach peaks that are close to 4,000 meters.
