Our excursion to the San Giacomo Pass, located on the border with Switzerland (Bedretto views of the valley) at an altitude of 2313 m, starting from the small town of Riale (1740 m) where you can park your car.
From here an easy paved road (no entry) takes us in steady ascent up the Alpe Toggia (2156 m) with magnificent views over Lake Morasco (1815 m) and the peaks that surround it.
little further we come to the shelter Maria Luisa (the only refuge in the area) at an altitude of 2157 m near the dam of Lake Toggia (2191 m).
After a short stop for coffee continue uphill until you reach the dam of Lake Toggia and continue on the path to the left of the lake that crosses the entire valley Toggia, up to the Passo San Giacomo at the border between Italy and Switzerland, where we find the remains of what was the custom house, now abandoned.
A long walk with great views over lakes and mountains, accompanied by the whistling marmots and from time to time by the continuous flow of water from small streams created by the melting of heavy snowfalls of the winter past.
The distance traveled by Riale Passo San Giacomo is about 8.1 km with an altitude difference of 573 meters.
A pleasant hike in the mountains where I suggest you bring sunscreen, sunglasses and hats as well as a wind-proof vest and a fleece (in case of bad weather) because there are points of shade trees where you can fix it from the sun.
Here are some pictures ...... from my point of departure to the point of arrival.
