Pesciüm - Cascina Nuova Path (loop path)

Distance: 2.74 kmAscent/Descent: +122 m / 123 mDuration: 0h 50 min 

Overlooking the impressive St. Gotthard massif, the winter trail of Pesciüm - Cascina Nuova offers the possibility of walking while admiring the heart of the Swiss Alps from a privileged point of view.

Thanks to the modern cable car of the Airolo - Pesciüm lifts, which is easily accessible from the highway exit, you are catapulted into a snow-covered world in no time at all. At an altitude of almost 1’800 meters above sea level, you follow the route marked out for hikers and quickly move away from the slopes frequented by skiers. Along the loop trail, without great differences in height, you will discover a wild nature and relaxing silences. Halfway along the route, the long walls of Cascina Nuova remind us of how the pastures rest under the thick blanket of snow, which in summer are the scene of intense alpine life.

Once back in Pesciüm you can relax at the lovely restaurant La Stüa, which offers typical regional dishes, and then return comfortably to Airolo in a few minutes, thanks to the modern cable car of Airolo-Pesciüm.
