Alpe Foppa – Arosio

Lesser known but equally spectacular, this is the perfect alternative to the Monte Tamaro - Monte Lema mountain trail.

Alpe Foppa – Arosio

The Alpe Foppa - Arosio hike shares its first section with it, as far as Monte Gradiccioli. Starting from Alpe Foppa, climb to the summit of Tamaro if you want to enjoy the view, or save half an hour by passing just below it. Once you reach Gradiccioli, a scenic descent along the east ridge awaits you, plunging into cool beech and chestnut woods. In two hours you arrive in Arosio, a picturesque village ideal for a rest while waiting for the bus to Rivera.

The Alpe Foppa – Arosio walk is also interesting departing from Arosio.

Look for the connection AROSIO – RIVERA-BIRONICO that fits you best!

Tappe principali: Alpe Foppa – Capanna Tamaro – Monte Tamaro – Bassa d’Indemini – Bassa di Montoia – Monte Gradiccioli – La Bassa – Arosio
