GTT Cari - Bodio 5. Etappe

The last day of hiking is here and we leave early to benefit from the morning coolness. Always on the sunny side of the Leventina, we hike mostly on the legendary Strada Alta Leventina, on which, contrary to its name, you only have to hike on short sections on the road. Parallel to the road that connects the villages of Calonico, Anzonico, Cavagnago and Sobrio, there is also a hiking trail. Partly through sparse forests, then again over well-kept meadows and past picturesque rustici. A "treat" at the end is the descent to Bodio. The path is repeatedly interspersed with stairs in the Ticino style, winds in numerous hairpin bends down to the valley, and in the lower part we immerse ourselves in a sparse chestnut forest. Tired and happy and also a little proud, we arrive in Bodio.

By post bus it is only a short distance to Biasca, where there is further accommodation.

There is a post bus between the villages of Calonico and Sobrio.

We follow the signposted hiking trail (green Kler "Gotthrad Tunnel Trail") downhill to the height of Figgione. We stay on the Strada Alta all the way to Sobrio. From here, the path leads us steeply down into the valley to Bodio.
