Lagh dal Teo - The gem at the foot of Piz dal Teo

Al Teo is the name of a wide rocky basin located on the western flank of Piz al Teo. Here shines the mountain lake Lagh dal Teo. It is located well above the vegetation limit, without trees obstructing the view of the crystal-clear water.

The idyllic place is quite secluded and consequently solitary. It is not a short walk, but a longer hike. You will be rewarded with unique landscape impressions and magnificent panoramas.

The route starts in the idyllic Val da Camp up to the hamlet of Terzana, from where it climbs steeply to the Munt da Franzesch moor, where the glacial flank of Piz Palü, on the opposite side of Valposchiavo, is visible above the red and golden sedges.

From Aurafreida you first cross a sparse larch forest, then you overcome a rocky step to enter Val dal Teo, from where the shores of Lagh dal Teo are soon reached.

The return to the valley initially follows the same route as Aurafreida. Alternating open pastures and mountain forests, you descend to Motta and the beautiful alpine plateau of Pisceo, from where you reach Festignani and finally Pozzulasc.

There are two Lagh dal Teo lakes: a small step in the ground leads from the lower mountain lake to its smaller sibling, a few dozen meters higher.

The route is marked as a mountain hiking trail (white-red-white, difficulty level T2). The starting point is the PostBus stop of Sfazù. Initially on a dirt road, then on natural trails throughout the route.
