Circular hike Bondo - Castasegna - Soglio

At the church of Bondo, turn into the small road, which is wide and well marked by low walls. It leads westwards along the edge of the forest. At a clearing, a path branches off to the right, leading directly to Castasegna. However, it is better to follow the road. It leads to the huts of Motta (882 m), where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the valley. Downwards through meadows and individual chestnut trees, you reach the huts of Salascé and Casnac before crossing the river Maira to Castasegna (697 m). You cross the Maira on a stone bridge and continue towards the village center.
Just below Villa Garbald, a small steep road turns upwards, leading to the square in front of the power plant. From here, it goes gently uphill through the well-known chestnut grove. Further up, the gravel road runs diagonally across the slope towards the stream, until after a bend you stand in front of the impressive waterfall. A little caution is required on the bumpy road in the dark tunnel. Once you have passed under the stream, it is not long to Plazza, where the impressive chestnut giants stretch their branches to the sky. From here, the path becomes rather steep and crosses the main road several times on the way to Soglio.
After visiting the picturesque village, you go down to Bondo. To the right of the church San Lorenzo, a steep, moderately difficult path leads through the forest below to the village Promontogno and from there further to Bondo.
