Valchiavenna
This trail running route follows a section of the historic Via Spluga and is suitable both for those looking for a training route with moderate elevation gain and for those approaching mountain running. The route allows you to discover some of the most characteristic views of Valle Spluga.
The starting point is the Campodolcino Sports Centre, which has free parking, a bar and changing rooms with showers. The facility is a reference point for those wishing to explore the trail running routes of Valle Spluga.
After approximately 3 kilometres of flat running along Via dei Lamponi, the route leaves the campsite and joins the viaSpluga. The trail crosses a fir forest and alternates short ascents and descents along the Liro stream, becoming progressively more technical.
Through a series of hairpin bends, the route reaches the dam and Lake Isola. After following the lakeside, a short section of dirt road leads to the village of Isola, where a small loop reconnects with the outward route for the return to Campodolcino.
This route was designed with the contribution of Francesco Puppi, who collaborated in defining the Campodolcino trail network, drawing on his experience in international competitions. A project created to offer technical, safe routes immersed in the landscapes of Valle Spluga.
