War Line

The GPS starts from Lizzano in Belvedere, but the tour can be made to start from Vidiciatico, thus saving a few kilometers and a couple of hundred meters in elevation gain. You climb from Mount Pizzo and pass through the Saltiolo Pass by taking the forest road to Madonna dell'Acero, thus avoiding the provincial road. From here you climb up to Lake Cavone where you take the mule track that passes the Le Malghe refuge and arrives at Lake Scaffaiolo. You then take the ridge trail to Croce Arcana, descend to Capanno Tassoni and continue to Lake Pratignano via Passo della Riva. From here you take the trail that gives the itinerary its name, the WAR LINE, a trail designed and created by one of the most famous trail builders namely the legendary Pippo Marani. You then reach Trignano and, passing by the Piastra Mill, you arrive at Rocca Corneta from which, following the asphalt road you return to the starting point.

This is definitely a challenging tour that, however, puts together fantastic views, adrenaline-pumping trails and also a bit of recent history of our territory.
