Mountain refuge Capanna Tremorgio

Long stages in the Leventine

Capanna Tremorgio it fits well as a passage shelter to distribute days in the mountain of Tesino, in the surroundings of Fiesso and the sector of Mascigo-Lake Tremorgio, at 1850 meters altitude. More than as an isolated destination, your practical interest appears when you read the map: it is in an area connected with travel routes like the High Strada , Strada Bassa and the Swiss route of E1 , in addition to local links to Passo Sole and Capanna Cadagno. This network makes it a useful reference for those who need to fail long routes, link valleys or reorganize a route without completely going down to the bottom of the valley.

In planning it is appropriate to think of this point with a logic of autonomy. There are several sources in the environment and the nearest figure is less than 1 km away, but in mountain that does not replace the prior check of available water or avoid sufficient margin. The altitude and crossing character of itineraries make it also a good reference of orientation on map, especially to follow the continuity between hillside routes and connection steps on the Leventine. As there are no close summits highlighted in the available data, their role is better understood as logistical and navigation support than as a clear basis for concrete ascension. To decide to use it on a journey, the most important thing is to value well the chain of routes, the meteorology and the degree of self-sufficiency necessary before leaving.
