The trail runs along paths, historic mule tracks and wooded sections, crossing an authentic alpine environment, rich in archaeological evidence, open views of the valley and striking natural vistas. From the very first meters one has the feeling of walking in an ancient territory, where the presence of man has always integrated with the mountain.
The itinerary alternates between stretches immersed in the forest, more open areas with panoramic views and passages on ancient connecting roads, offering a varied and never monotonous experience. The walk is ideal for those seeking a hike that is not only physical, but also cultural and contemplative, where each section tells a story.
At the highest points, the view opens to the surrounding peaks and the valley floor, while along the way there is no shortage of places suitable for a restorative stop, perfect for observing the landscape or simply enjoying the silence of the mountains.
