It's chestnut time: discover the trail

It's Chestnut time and what better way to enjoy the sunny autumn weather than with a healthy hike?

The Chestnut Path is a thematic path about 15 km long (9,5 km if you choose the shorter route) in the high region of the area, known as Alto Malcantone. The trail winds through the woods and explores the land of chestnut trees! Besides revealing woods, crops, chestnut trees, the trail accompanies you through pleasant surroundings and a harmonious landscape where nature stands out in all its splendour.

The itinerary offers you several panoramic spots and the possibility of admiring the architectural details of certain picturesque villages that this very special excursion joins together. Several didactic points, simply marked on the ground and amply illustrated in a separate brochure, may be found along the way. You can even cover just short legs of this trail.

The path is marked with the symbol of a chestnut, which is visible on all of the yellow signs. The signs along the pathway are interrupted at the intersection where the trail meets the Cantonal road. After having crossed the street, the trail continues, as can be seen by following the pertinent signs marking the path.

Join the local tradition and pick some chestnuts along the way for arts and crafts. Have fun!
