Valchiavenna
The Angeloga Loop is a medium-difficulty trail running route leading to Alpe Angeloga, one of the most iconic places in Valle Spluga. The route is recommended for runners accustomed to elevation gain or as an uphill and downhill training session for more experienced athletes.
The Angeloga Loop starts at the Campodolcino Sports Centre, where free parking, a bar and changing rooms with showers are available, providing useful services both for those tackling the route and for those finishing their training session here.
From the Campodolcino Sports Centre, the route crosses the village and climbs towards Fraciscio along the mule track. After passing through the village, the trail follows the signs for Rifugio Chiavenna and Alpe Angeloga, alternating gentler sections with a demanding climb up the valley carved by the Rabbiosa stream.
Near Lake Angeloga, the gradient eases and the view opens towards Pizzo Stella and Pizzo Groppera. After crossing the plain, the route reaches Rifugio Chiavenna, an ideal point for a short break.
From the refuge, the route continues uphill towards Alpe Motta, followed by a panoramic traverse where chamois and ibex can be spotted. The descent leads near Lago Azzurro and then to Motta di Sotto, from where a steep trail returns to Campodolcino.
The route is part of the project developed with the contribution of Francesco Puppi, who identified these trails as an ideal place for athletic training. It was precisely in Campodolcino that the trail runner built part of the training that led him to achieve important international results.
Water points: Campodolcino, Fraciscio, Rifugio Chiavenna, Motta Alta and Motta di Sotto.
