From Valmalenco follow the signs for Lanzada-Campo Franscia and Campo Moro. The road from Campo Franscia is usually snow-covered and therefore passable with chains on board or snow tires. The proposed route is a must for all backcountry lovers. Leave the car at the parking lot of the first dam. In a short time (5 minutes) you reach the Zoia refuge (open on winter weekends). Continue on a steep uphill path, next to the Zoia climbing cliffs, where the forest becomes progressively sparser. You reach a hill that offers a beautiful view of Valmalenco and Pizzo Scalino. In about 45 minutes of walking you reach the Campagneda alpine pasture. Near the Il Cornetto farmhouse, follow a path in the forest towards Rifugio CristinaAlpe Prabello or you can follow the road that first passes by the Ca' Runcasch refuge and then continues towards Prabello. The return can be done on the same path or passing at the foot of Pizzo Scalino, heading northeast, until reaching the first Campagneda lake, which will obviously be frozen. Shortly after, return to the Ca' Runcasch refuge and then retrace the path back to the Zoia refuge.
