Here we are back in this beautiful area of Val Piora, unfortunately this time with bad weather.
We reach the Ritom Lake Dam, where there is a large paid parking (Fr. 5.- for 3 hours, Fr. 8.- for 6 hours, Fr. 10.- for the whole day)[Update of 21.9.2019: Fr. 11 for 6 hours, Fr. 15 for the whole day] that you can also reach through the Piotta-Ritom funicular.
From the dam we begin to walk along the road that leads to Cadagno. Reached the Alpe Ritom, to lengthen a bit 'the trip, we climb following the dirt road to Lake Tom.
From here we continue to the east and back down from before to Lake Cadagno and then continue up to the Capanna Cadagno that in this period is being expanded.
We return the same way to Cadagno, but this time we take the path that heads south to the bridge at an altitude of 1852 meters.
Here, after crossing a bridge and a tunnel, we take the new path that runs along Lake Ritom on the South side.
This path was inaugurated just in 2009 and thus allows us to return to the dam for an alternative route.
