Comment (Automatic translation in english)

For this hike, you can leave your car below the Ritom dam, where there is a pay car park (10.- Fr. for the whole day)[Update 21.9.2019: 15.- Fr. for the whole day] of around 30 spaces. The road is quite beautiful for a mountain road, but for those who don't feel up to tackling it, you can always use the Ritom cable car from Piotta.
Once at the Lake Ritom dam, follow the dirt road that leads to Cadagno and from there to the hut of the same name. Immediately after the hut, turn left and follow the path up to Lago di Dentro and the Laghetti della Miniera. We continue down into Val Cadlimo and leave the path at around the altitude of 2500 metres in the direction of Lago dello Stabbio. From the lake you then return to the path and reach the Cadlimo Hut, a beautiful building with a wonderful view over the Val Cadlimo and Val Canaria.
From the hut we continue southwards to Lago Scuro and Bassa del Lago Scuro and then descend to Laghetti di Taneda and Lago Tom. The area is very cosy and full of flowers. Finally, we descend to Lake Ritom and return to the starting point.
