Embark on the difficult Cima Gardiola and Cima della Piastra Loop, a challenging hike that covers 9.6 miles (15.5 km) and demands a significant 3402 feet (1037 metres) of elevation gain. You can expect to spend approximately 5 hours and 56 minutes traversing this route, which winds through diverse landscapes including mixed woods and open areas. As you ascend, you will be treated to expansive views across the Valle Pesio, offering a rewarding sense of accomplishment for your effort.
To begin your adventure, head to the historic Certosa di Pesio, which serves as the trailhead and offers ample parking for visitors. While much of the route provides a steady climb, be prepared for two distinct sections that are notably steep and stony, requiring careful footing. Given the trail's difficult rating and duration, it is wise to start early in the day and carry sufficient water and supplies.
This loop immerses you in the rich biodiversity of the Valle Pesio, a protected area within the Parco Naturale del Marguareis. The path follows parts of the historic monastery trail, blending natural exploration with a sense of the region's spiritual past. Keep an eye out for wildlife; a short detour to the Canavere wildlife enclosure might even offer a glimpse of deer.
