Info sull'evento
I want to come what should I do?
Read carefully all the details below, reserve your spot and pay the 70 CHF participation fee via TWINT.
What’s included in the participation fee (70 CHF)?
Dinner, night in the hut and breakfast (no public transport tickets and no drinks). Drinks will have to be paid separately based on what we consume
Where and when can I pay the 70 CHF fee?
Please pay right after clicking the RSVP button below that confirms your spot. You can pay via TWINT to +41 79 966 72 89 and send then a screenshot of the receipt with your name to the same number. Thank you for not using cash. This makes it way easier to organize everything :)
But... I don't have TWINT...
No worries, you can download it from www.twint.ch
How hard is the hike?
You can check the details below. Keep in mind you have to be able to walk uphill on alpine unpaved path for at least 4h.
- Day 1 it's an intermediate hike where we’ll go up together to Capanna Monti di Lego
- Day 2 you can choose between and intermediate hike down to Tenero train station with lunch in a restaurant somewhere or a harder hike to Mt.Madone (2000m). Keep in mind the intermediate hike down will be self-guided (just download the Komoot app from AppStore or PlayStore) since some of us will go to Mt.Madone.
What to bring:
Hiking boots (no running shoes), Windproof rain jacket, warm sweater, sleeping clothes, 1.5l of water, lunch/snacks for both days while on the trail (put them in a bag with your name).
Where will we sleep?
In a one big bedroom. No need for sleeping bags.
Are there dogs / can I bring a dog?
The hut owners have two dogs. There’s sleeping room for small-sized and really well behaved dog right next to our sleeping area (the hut owner will put a blanket instead of the wooden stairs in this picture). Keep in mind the owners categorically do not allow dogs in the room where the matress are (and people sleep). So please bring dogs that can peacefully sleep by themselves and won't create issues for any other person.
What’s the weather like?
Keep an eye on the SwissMeteo site
Will we go if it's bad weather too?
We'll keep an eye on the forecasts. In case of rain or bad weather we will cancel and the participation fee will be refunded.
Can I see some pictures of the place where we’ll stay?
Just Google “capanna monti di lego” and click on Images ;) as simple as that
