The Postbus from St Moritz or Chiavenna will drop you off conveniently in Casaccia, where you will find the beginning of the romantic “Sentiero Panoramico” trail. This path leads you through lush natural surroundings and repeatedly opens up onto breathtaking views of the sun-facing side of the Bregaglia range.

After crossing the bridge over the Maira Valley, you will reach the small water reservoir of Löbbia. From there, a slightly downhill stretch takes you towards Barga. You will then hike through evergreen and birch woods to Roticcio, where you will finish the first section of the route. Passing through steep meadows and dense fir woods, you will make your way to Durbeggia. Once there, we recommend taking a break to enjoy the incredible view over the Bondasca Valley, with its mighty peaks. Through a narrow path you will reach the next stop in Parlongh. There you will emerge from rocky wilderness to the sight of the church tower and surrounding houses of Soglio.

Just below Soglio, between Plazza and Castasegna, you can find Europe’s largest chestnut forest. In autumn, fragrant blue-tinged smoke rises from the small huts in which the chestnuts are dried (known as "cascine") and wafts through the thick-trunked trees with their red-gold leaves.
