Final Favourites & Departure
A well-marked hiking trail that loops past three traditional alpine dairies (malghe). The path is gentle, takes about 2 hours, and offers meadow and forest view

Getting Around Borno
Buy a daily ticket (€5) at the Borno tabacchi. In summer, the bus runs a scenic route past the church—skip the car for the view.
Pre-book with a local company like NCC Borno for fixed prices. Check if your hotel can arrange a shared minibus for off-peak days.
Buy return tickets from the Breno bar-tabacchi (cash only). The train is a slow single-carriage—take the right-hand seat for lake views.
Use Radiotaxi Borno (tel. 0364-123456). Always agree the fare upfront. For short trips to the bakery or pharmacy, just walk—the village is compact.
