The Paroso Cross

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old cost is a beautiful road with moderate slopes but in some sections it has loose stones that make the climb a bit tiring; it allows you to reach the plateau from a little-frequented slope. Recently restored, you gain altitude until you reach a cross with a splendid view over the Valdastico. Shortly after there is an old house, once a station for the cost train. Among the vegetation you can still see the stone walls, where the train ran.

Mule Track to Monte Cengio

Highlight • Trail

This ancient mule track goes up to 1,354 meters above sea level on Mount Cengio from the vicinity of Cogollo. These areas were the scene of bloody battles during the First World War: along these hairpin bends, you will find information panels that recount these stories.

"La Granatiera" of Monte Cengio

Highlight • Historical Site

La Granatiera is a daring mule track steeply cast on the plain below built in 1916. It is located in the Monumental area of Monte Cengio, the scene of very important battles during the First World War which mainly involved the units of the Sardinian Grenadiers.
Given the exposure, if this stretch is crowded, we recommend getting off the bike and walking along it, you will not regret it.

Rifugio al Granatiere

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Starting point for visiting the historic area sacred to the homeland of Monte Cengio, with the spectacular route made up of tunnels and trenches with stretches overlooking the Valdastico.
Very popular, it offers excellent dishes, made even more appetizing after a nice hike. From the square also starts the path that descends with numerous serpentines to the valley but which allows you to reach the base of the Cengio wall equipped with numerous multi-pitch bolted routes.

At one point we went back (we had to push the bike) and took an alternative route.

Monte Cengio, MTB dream mountain with a dark past! The driveway is on an old military road with a pleasant gradient, but the surface is very rough. From the summit it's worth taking the path that crosses the vertical rock faces down...unique 🤩...It's crazy what a network of paths the Alpini carved into the mountain in the First World War...then …

The dip in the Pria creek refreshed us. It paid off our ticket 🎴

Incredible tour starting in Cogollo...ascent on a rough gravel path, then briefly on asphalt and finally on a snow path to the summit of Monte Paù. Descent in countless beautiful hairpin bends to the 10° Tornante and fast fun 😅 to the start of the legendary Sentiero 651... simply brilliant how the path 🤩 leads down over the very steep …

The climb, once you leave the asphalt, is on a fairly demanding surface of coarse gravel. The effort of the climb is amply repaid by the wonderful Strada dei Granatieri, overlooking the Val d'Astico. This road should be traveled at low speed as it is very popular with pedestrians. The view of the road is even more impressive from the …

At the bottom there is a 6-minute walk to a landslide. This is essential for a perfect end to the trail.

Ring route from Caltrano passing through:
- Church of the Olmo signpost
- Church of the Donor
- Refuge at the Grenadier
Found the path closed for maintenance at the last bend, where you see a slot on the track. This would have brought us back to the cemetery parking lot where we started from.

After an initial part of asphalted climb, the path continues with more difficulty due to the surface.
Once you reach Piazzale Principe di Piemonte, continue towards the access road, also crossing a long tunnel.
Once you reach the top and return to Rifugio Al Granatiere, finding the entrance to path 639 was a bit difficult for us. The descent has …
