Five hundred kilometres across the Ticino Alps - this is the country you run through. I was posted at one point on the Ticino Wildlands 500 course and watched a whole day turn over the same ridge: golden pasture in the afternoon heat, Piz di Strega held dead-still in a tarn, then the last pink light on the summit before dusk. One peak, three views - and a fraction of what a runner sees along the way.
Base and aid at this spot was Capanna Cava (UTOE) - grazie for having me up there, and thank you to Ticino 500 and for making it happen.
