サンマルチェッロピストイエーゼのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

ジョヴァンニ・グアレスキ（1908-1968）が創造した主人公「ドン・カミッロ」と「ペッポーネ」をめぐる、イタリア国外でも広く愛されている素晴らしい短編小説の一つに、「秋」というタイトルのものがあります。彼の物語の多くはユーモラスな背景を持っていますが、今回は真剣なテーマ、すなわち11月4日を記念した戦没者の国民的追悼が扱われています。共産党員のペッポーネ市長は、司祭との白熱した議論の中で次のように述べています。 » 「人々はこれらの戦争や勝利にうんざりしている。人々は戦争が何であるかをよく知っており、それを賛美するような演説や呼びかけを必要としない。」 ドン・カミッロは首を振った。 「君は間違った道を進んでいるよ、ペッポーネ。誰も戦争を賛美したいわけではない。ただ、この戦争で苦しみ、命を落としたすべての人々に敬意と感謝の意を表したいだけなんだ。」 « (G. Guareschi)

In summer, Balzi dell'Ora is a challenging CAI trail due to its exposure and some technical sections. In winter, with snow and ice, it's a winter mountaineering route that, depending on snow conditions, could be quite respectable. I climbed it alone with two ice axes and crampons. If you're climbing as a team in the conditions I encountered, I think sure-footedness and experience are essential, as there are many traverses and ridge sections with sparse protection, and you'll obviously need adequate winter mountaineering gear. In any case, it's a beautiful climb with magnificent views and a very rewarding experience.

In winter, the second gully (starting from the left) has the steepest exit, 60/70 degrees, depending on the snow. I recommend tackling it with two ice axes. If you're climbing in a roped-up rock, about 60 meters from the gully exit, there's a bolt on the right that's useful for a belay. Another bolt is located at the gully exit, but it's often covered by the ship. It's obviously a good idea to check the snow conditions and equip yourself with the appropriate winter mountaineering gear.

Don't be discouraged by the climb, it's not very long and the arrival is worth the journey.

An excellent rest stop where you can stay in the dormitory or stop for lunch. With a donation, you can get bread, cheese, and a tart, or whatever else they have on hand. Volunteers are definitely available on weekends. In winter, the winter shelter is open in case of emergency. There is no bathroom.

A well-marked hiking trail (No. 331) leads from the Madonna dell'Acero Sanctuary through shady beech forests directly to the waterfalls. Along the way, several viewpoints await you with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and the roaring water.

The Dardagna Waterfalls consist of several impressive cascades with a total height of approximately 200 meters. The highest single fall, at approximately 30 meters, is particularly worth seeing. They are among the most beautiful waterfalls in the Emilia-Romagna Apennines.
