Foot path from Rodi

From Rodi you can walk to the Tremorgio lake (difference in height 900 meters) in about 3 hours. You can save your strength taking the cableway . From Tremorgio lake you can continue walking on a convenient path (be careful that in june you can still find some snow, get informed) till the hut passing by the Alpe Campolungo, it is an easy way feetable also for kids. (difference in height 450 meters from the lake) From the lake you will join the hut in about 1.30 / 2 hours.
Joining the Alpe Campolungo (dark side on the left of the picture) you have to cross the stream which descends to the Tremorgio lake. You can avoid it, in case of high water, climbing on the way to passo Venett joining the path from Dalpe. Both ways are marked with yellow signals.

Foot path from Dalpe


If you join Dalpe by car you can park in Boscobello area (just after the village) but we do not reccomend it because the cows are pasturing there and they can damage your car. It is more safe parking in Dalpe and starting your walk from there (30 minutes walk more).
You start therefore your walking on a excavate street until Scontra 1660 m. From there a foot path (indicated) will bring you directly in Alpe Cadonighino 1739 m. without passing per Candonigo 1788 m.
Near the tower used to support electrical the path climb until Passo Venett 2138 m passing by Stüéi 1869 m.
Until Stüéi the path is practicable also with mountain bike, ridable for 90% . In Stüéi you can hide your bike in the forest. (bring a padlock)
From Passo Venett you join the hut int about 30 minutes walk. From Dalpe you can consider a total of 3.5 – 4 hours walk. 		Passo Venett seen from
