You reach the newly built Capanna (lodge) of the Swiss Alpine Club by climbing 600 meters from the village Corteciasca. After about two thirds of the way you can watch herds of peacefully grazing Highland cattle. These animals are quite docile, you can approach them to a mere two to three meters, even the cows with a calf. They would rather move away from you than attack you. But stay outside the swing of their long horns an keep your dog on a leash!The Capanna is a wooden cube erected on a concrete foundation. Weather permitting you can enjoy the sun on the large patio. Service is swift and friendly. Our server was fluent in Italian, German and French. I do not know about English but I do not think it would be a problem.The restaurant offers typical local cold and warm dishes such as affetato (air dried ham and bacon), polenta with cheese or polpettone (meat loaf) or risotto con Lughanige. Small but good selection of local wines by the glass or by the bottle. Reasonable prices.Enjoy the splendid views from the Capanna or climb a further two hundred meters (half an hour) to the Monte Bar (1800 m altitude) and enjoy your coffee on the way down - it's well worth the effort!
