It was decades since I last walked "Ol sentèr di pèrsec". So called because in past centuries it was used by people who, with baskets full of fruit and vegetables, brought produce from Endine to Val Gandino, particularly peaches. They then made the return journey with baskets full of wool or textiles

The companion of many hikes and climbs underwent a difficult operation weeks ago. However, he wants to try to take a few steps. Therefore, he decides on a high-altitude walk. After parking at the farmhouse, we slowly ascend the Sparavento, despite the day with cold gusts of wind from the northwest. At

A leisurely snow hike in the Magnolini refuge area, climbing Monte Alto and descending to Pian de la Palù.
A sunny but cloudy day. Hard, frozen snow in the morning, slightly powdery in the afternoon.
The route was not followed on the classic Monte Alto trail, but on alternative routes to avoid the crowded ski slopes.

A sunny day veiled by mist.
A hike along the high scree trail, not marked on the maps, but easily followed. It's impossible to get lost.
The trail is entirely gravelly and runs up and down, with continuous bumps and a maximum elevation gain of 80 square meters.
It doesn't pose any major difficulties, but

I've always enjoyed walking in woods, preferably large ones; perhaps because, as a young man, I was accustomed to hunting mushrooms in the Squadra forest.
Pine, fir, and beech forests are my favorites: pine and fir forests in summer, beech forests in winter. Although I also enjoy coppices of oak, downy

A friend and acquaintance needs to personally deliver some confidential electronic documents I need to work on; but he also wants to go for a walk. Given the likely beautiful day, after weeks of rain, we agree to meet on the banks of the Arno, with the help of the transponder.

A journey in the footsteps of Don Milani, remembering the 1944 Padulivo massacre; with a crossing to San Martino a Scopeto.
A journey through the history of the last century, along a dirt road, sheep track, and woodland path.
The Villa Emma farm in San Martino a Scopeto is beautiful, no matter how you

My legs are a bit stiff from the past few days. So, leaving the skins behind, it's best to take a walk to let the lactic acid flow.
There's nothing better, given the beautiful, almost spring-like day (a pleasant morning breeze of 6-10 km/h; strengthening in the afternoon and cold at 15-20 km/h), than

A beautiful hike along paths and sheep tracks among the hills and knolls of Montebonello. This was done in the afternoon, with a few clearings, a south-westerly wind, and constant cloud cover.
The section of trail between Casa Pozzo and Avacchio requires orienteering skills, as it is often engulfed and
