Passing by Madonna del Gaggio, continue on a dirt road and arrive in front of the restaurant. 20 meters later on the right, there is another dirt road that leads to the base of the stream and after a climb always on a dirt road, you arrive at the town of Meredo. To the right you go to Barbarasco- Aulla and to the left to the Passo dei Solini Alta Via dei Monti Liguria.

Near the Gambin restaurant, a beautiful dirt road starts that leads to the Madonna del Gaggio and rejoins the provincial road.

Rest point with picnic area

The Gaggio sanctuary, whose name takes inspiration from the very wooded areas of the area (the Gaggio, in fact) is known by various names. It is also called the sanctuary of the Madonna del Gaggio or Madonna della Neve, and rises above the valley.

The downhill stretch of path starts from the Maesta', located on a beautiful panoramic balcony. There are no particular difficulties but you have to pay attention to 2 rock passages, one of which is exposed. The passages are clearly visible and also signposted so you can decide whether to do them by bike or by hand.

The Green Lake is located at an altitude of 1,053 meters and is particularly fascinating during the autumn, when the water level rises and the surrounding forest is tinged with shades from yellow to red, creating a spectacle of foliage. During the winter, the place is often covered in heavy snowfall. Here it crosses the Via degli Abati, an ancient road used by Piacenza monks since the 7th century, which connected the ancient monastery of Bobbio to Pontremoli. The Via degli Abati, older than the Via Francigena, was the main route to reach Rome since the year 600.
