Corrado De Bastiani Trail clockwise
Little Fish Trek

A ring trail, dedicated to Corrado De Bastiani, that runs along the southern slopes of the Tre Pietre Group – Cimón on the sides of Val di Sant’Agapito.
It is a trail that can definitely be called "technical" and is recommended for experienced hikers due to the abundant signage; it is well marked with local yellow-red trail markers; suitable for those who appreciate and look for largely wooded and solitary trails.
Coming from Cesiomaggiore, at the junction between Via Sant’Agapito and Via Ronchi there is a wooden board indicating the map and characteristics of the route, and it can be considered the closing-joining point of the ring.
The original counterclockwise direction is indicated here toward the start of the real trail section; however, along the route are arrow-signs pointing to both directions.
In this case, I preferred the clockwise direction to find the greatest difficulties uphill with an easy final descent.

Rest stops
Bivacco Casera Bosc dei Boi sul Monte Tre PietreSafety information
Avoid when wet, snowy or icy.
Be very careful if accompanying people with limited experience, and consider using equipment supplementary to normal hiking gear.
It’s true that the trail is well marked only for experienced hikers, but all became experienced by trying something similar accompanied by more capable people.
THIS IS NOT A TRAIL FOR BEGINNERS TO WALK ALONE.
Roadbook
The Corrado De Bastiani Trail traveled clockwise can be ideally divided into three parts:
- From the parking lot in the Valle di Cesiomaggiore area to the beautiful Casera Bosc dei Boi Refuge-Bivouac (Bosco dei Buoi)
- From the Casera Bosc dei Boi Refuge-Bivouac to the Forcella del Sass da Porta (also written as Sas da Porta on some signs)
- From the Forcella del Sass da Porta back to the starting parking lot
FROM THE START TO THE BOSC DEI BOI BIVOUAC REFUGE
After a short stretch of asphalt-concrete road, you arrive by an easy trail at the Church of Sant’Agapito di Valle.
Between the left side of the Church and the slope there is a narrow passage where numerous and closely spaced yellow-red trail markers start, guiding towards the Bosc dei Boi Refuge.
The trail footprint on the ground is always narrow but obvious, alternating almost flat stretches with fairly steep "bursts".
Several short, somewhat exposed passages.
Two sections with metal safety cables: one on a partially collapsed bend and one on a small rock jump.
Two footbridges: one "rustic" made of logs and one metal with steps.
FROM BOSC DEI BOI REFUGE TO FORCELLA DEL SASS DA PORTA
Ups and downs (the start and end of this section are almost at the same height) with a downward trend at the beginning and a fairly tough climb to reach the pass.
This is a much shorter section than the previous one and seems on average more exposed and slippery.
Here too a metal footbridge and a couple of stretches with safety cables on rocky steps.
FINAL DESCENT FROM FORCELLA DEL SASS DA PORTA
Easy: a GOOD biker could do it all without ever putting their feet down.
The problem is … how to carry the mountain bike up?
Directions
Go to Cesiomaggiore following the various signs along the SS50 between Busche and Santa Giustina.
From the town of Cesiomaggiore follow the arrows for Sant’Agapito or Valle or (the wooden ones) for the C. De Bastiani Trail.
Parking
On Via Sant’Agapito about 250 meters after the junction between Via Sant’Agapito and Via Ronchi.
Parking for 8/10 cars if ... well parked.
