The Sentiero Alpino Bregaglia connects the four Bregaglia SAC huts. In five impressive and challenging days of mountain hiking, you can reach the Forno, Albigna, Sciora, and Sasc Furä huts.
The connecting route between the Sciora and Sasc Furä huts will not be completed until the end of the summer season 2025!

Beschreibung
The Sentiero Alpino Bregaglia is a high alpine trek through one of the wildest, most unspoilt areas in the Alps, full of variety and with spectacular views. The tour connects the four Bergell SAC huts and consists of five routes, some of which can also be done as day hikes:
- Forno panoramic trail
- This trail is aptly named: it offers the most beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and leads past several small mountain lakes whose waters reflect the nearby mountain peaks.
- Approx. 10 km, ascent from Maloja 1100 m, descent 210 m, duration approx. 5-6 hours, T3+
- Casnil Pass
- There is a magnificent view from the Casnil South Pass and a direct view of the imposing north face of the Cima dal Cantun. With a bit of luck, ibex can also be spotted.
- Approx. 8.5 km, ascent 750 m, descent 1000 m, duration approx. 5-6 hours, T5
- Cacciabella South Pass
- Approx. 6.8 km, ascent 730 m, descent 940 m, duration approx. 4-5 hours, T5
- Descent from Sciora hut to Bondo
- Approx. 7.8 km, ascent 100 m, descent 1380 m, duration approx. 4-5 hours, T3
- Sciora hut - Larett - Sasc Furä hut
- The direct connection between the two huts was buried in the landslide in 2017. From autumn 2025, there will be an alternative connection via the beautiful new Sciora hut trail. Until then, is around 8.5 km, ascent 815 m, descent 1025 m, duration approx. 5-5.5 hours, T3
- Descent to Bondo (or alternatively by crossing the Trubignasca Pass into Val Cordera)
- Approx. 7.7 km, ascent 350 m, descent 1435 m, duration approx. 4-5 hours, T4
Geheimtipp
Book the mountains huts in advance, especially on weekends and during peak season.
Note: The tour can be extended with another overnight stay at a mountain hut by crossing the Trubignasca Pass after the Sasc Furä Hut, heading towards Val Codera. This overnight stay can be booked upon request directly at the Luigi Brasca Hut.
Sicherheitshinweis
This is a challenging alpine hike (up to T5), which requires surefootedness and experience of walking in pathless terrain as well as familiarity with heights.
- On the panoramic trail, caution is advised in early summer when crossing the snowfields below the Pizzi dei Rossi.
- The Casnil Pass is one of the more difficult sections of the hike, graded T4/T5. The paths are partially exposed and at some points there are metal chains, which make the climbing sections safer and more pleasant. The chains are fitted at the beginning of summer. It is possible to encounter snowfields along the way, especially at the beginning of the season. More information.
- The Cacciabella South Pass is equally challenging (T5). The descent is secured with chains and ladders.
Ausrüstung
Possibly ice axe, crampons, harnesses with rope and carabiners for the set-up sections.

THE ITINERARY
Day 1: Forno panoramic trail
You set off from the Maloja Pass and hike along the footpath or the road up to Lake Cavloc. From here you follow the path on the valley floor to the Forno Valley/Muretto Pass junction. Here you still have the option of taking the direct route through the Forno Valley to the hut (on the right).
When you cross the Orlegna and reach the path towards the Muretto Pass. At an altitude of around 2300 metres, the panoramic route branches off to the right over the stream to the Forno hut. It passes the Laghetti dei Rossi, leads through gravel fields and boulder slopes and passes another lake at approx. 2750 m, in order to finally reach the Forno hut (2574 m).
Day 2: Casnil Pass
From the hut, you descend in steep serpentines from the marginal moraine to the Val Forno glacier basin. Downstream, you cross the glacial stream on a small bridge and then climb steeply south-westwards over tracks and rock slabs. Below the foothills of the Piz Casnil east ridge, you reach the passage secured with chains and iron footholds. Good surefootedness is required here.
You continue through a wide scree basin towards Casnil South Pass. A small valley leads south-westwards from here to the pass at 2941 m. Arriving at the top of the pass is another highlight: you enter a lunar landscape that is unrivalled - dominated by the north face of the Cima dal Cantun. Following the blue and white marked hiking trail, you initially traverse some rough boulders before reaching a striking scree ridge and descending over it to the small lakes. From here it is not far to the Albigna hut.
Day 3: Cacciabella South Pass
From the Albigna hut, you descend to the lake and cross the dam. From here you follow the blue and white marked hiking trail to the foot of the mighty slab walls of Pizzo Frachiccio. You follow the markings and cairns through a beautiful rocky landscape and then over a steep passage secured with iron steps and chains to the Cacciabella Sud pass at 2896 metres. From here, the view opens up for the first time to the famous granite giants Piz Cengalo and Piz Badile.
On the other side, a few exposed sections await you on the descent, which are secured with ladders, chains and ropes. After the last ladder, the Sciora hut (2120m) is reached in around 30 minutes through scree and moraine fields.
Day 4: Sciora hut - Larett - Bondo
The descent is along the old hut path up to around 1900 metres. From Naravedar, the new path crosses the steep slopes below Piz Grand and I Mot, and you cross the deeply incised side valleys comfortably on several breathtaking suspension bridges. Once you reach the valley floor, you follow the easy path along the Bondasca to Bondo.

Day 4: Sciora hut - Larett - Sasc Furä hut
The descent is along the old hut path up to around 1900 metres. From Naravedar, the new path crosses the steep slopes below Piz Grand and I Mot, and you cross the deeply incised side valleys comfortably on several breathtaking suspension bridges.
You reach the lowest point at Selvartigh and cross the valley floor of the Bundasca, using a suspension bridge that was still installed in Bondo until spring 2025. After a short ascent, you cross the Trubinasca and follow the path slightly uphill to the east for just under a kilometre until you reach the former hut path from the Bondasca Valley to the Sasc Furä hut at Jerta. From here, the path becomes quite steep and leads you about 200 metres in altitude through the rock band below the Sasc Furä. The last 200 metres in altitude are a little easier again and take you directly to the hut at 1904 m.
Day 5: Descent to Bondo
On the descent, you follow the path southwards until,at the highest point, the path to the Turbinasca Pass branches off to the left (the actual descent only comes now). You cross the slope below the pass at a slight gradient until you reach the rocky ledge that stretches down from the Pizzi dei Vanni. You descend a good 100 metres more steeply on a ridge before starting to circle the Salacina at around 1800 metres. Unfortunately, the stream valleys and ravines on this route have to be climbed through without suspension bridges. Above Luvartigh you meet the red and white path that leads you down to Alp Cugian. You descend further into the Bondasca Valley and reach the end of the tour in Bondo or Promontogno.
