The trail runs in a very elevated position, on the edge of a plain that surrounds the outer part of a large bend of the Ticino River. The plain ends abruptly in a steep overhanging cliff caused by the erosion of the water at its base. The trail runs through greenery and flowers, in a panoramic position from which you can admire the branch from which it comes, and the one from which the water flows into the bend that flows at your feet. The large gravelly esplanades on the opposite bank inside the bend of the river are also veiled.

The crossing has been consolidated and made smoother with a series of wooden sticks that run across the road, creating a path that can be traveled on a horse. Canals, ups and downs and small bridges, alternating with rocky sections and clearings, the numerous views of the Ticino make the route very entertaining.

Madonna della Bozzola, sanctuary on the Via Francigena

Very beautiful farmhouse with tree-lined avenue

It would be a spectacular route but unfortunately lately, given the adverse weather, it is practically impassable along certain sections, and above all both the bridges and the fords are missing, which are now impassable. A big shame!

The Santuario Madonna della Bozzola is a diocesan reference point for pastoral care, located in Tromello, province of Pavia, region of Lombardy. This sanctuary, dedicated to Our Lady of the Bozzola, is a place of encounter, reflection and spiritual growth. The shrine has its origins in a miraculous apparition of Maria Benedetta in 1465. Maria invited the faithful to build a chapel and later a church in her honor on this site. The church, founded at the beginning of the 16th century, has a cotto facade with frescoes in the lunettes of the portals. Inside is a painting of Our Lady of the Bozzola. The shrine was restored in 1983.

A ford that I consider quite dangerous if you are alone, as you have to lower your bike into the water and cross it, being careful not to slip on the stones

One of the most dangerous fords in the Ticino park. I absolutely recommend not doing it alone, but always in a group. You have to get your bike off a concrete base in Ticino and walk dragging the bike over some stones where you obviously slip with shoes with composite or carbon soles.
