December 28, 2025, the trail is completely passable, wet with muddy spots, but completely passable even on gravel! Super!

The Chapel of the Pilgrim Madonna is located at the intersection of the Quattro Strade, just outside Stadomelli. It was built after World War II by the villagers with simple materials such as rocks and river gravel, and inside was a statue of the Pilgrim Madonna, much loved by the community. Every year, on the third Sunday of September, a procession accompanied by the music of a band takes place, an event linked to a vow for the healing of a local girl.

The trail has been reopened and is now completely accessible by bike.

Passo Alpicella is located at 710m above sea level and is part of the 42nd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. It is located on the watershed ridge between Val di Vara and Valle del Magra, offering open views that on clear days reach the Apuan Alps and the Gulf of Poets.

The dirt road that connects the hamlet of Bagatello to Valico dei Solini follows the route of the 43rd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri (Ceparana–Valico dei Solini) and also partly coincides with a segment of the Lunigiana Gravel. The route is easy to ride: the surface is largely compact and stable, ideal for gravel and MTB. Some short sections have a slightly more unstable surface, with loose gravel or uneven terrain, but overall the ride is smooth and pleasant, even uphill. The natural setting is very suggestive, with wooded sections and open views towards the Val di Vara.

beautiful view

👍

The trail is not passable by bike in some sections due to landslides and fallen trees, while it is definitely easier to run.
