Routes
Alpe Prabello and the Campagneda Alpine Lakes
DIFFICULTY: E
DISTANCE/LENGTH: 10.1 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 430 m
DURATION: 3 hours
BEST TIME TO VISIT: From May to October, and in winter with snow
RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT: Lanzada, Campo Moro
From the large parking area at Campo Moro, near the Zoia refuge (2,021 m a.s.l.), take the trail next to the refuge that skirts the southern side of Mount Spundascia. This mountain overlooks both the artificial lake on one side and the wide Campagneda valley on the other.
Passing rock faces polished by glaciers—now equipped for climbing—you’ll soon reach Alpe Campagneda. From here, following the signs and crossing a small stream in the valley bottom, it takes just over half an hour to arrive at the enchanting Alpe Prabello (2,226 m a.s.l.), nestled beneath the majestic peak of Pizzo Scalino.
The return follows the same route; however, more energetic hikers can take a circular route by continuing up to the Campagneda alpine lakes (the first at 2,279 m a.s.l.) and descending via the main valley to rejoin the original trail near the Alpe Campagneda refuges.
The route is also recommended for mountain bikers, who can start from the parking area located just over a kilometer before Campo Moro, at the beginning of the dirt road.
