The route of the Pizzo dell'Arco trail from Cocoscia

The trail starts from Cocoscia, at about 720 m, where trail 502 passes. The climb begins right away and offers no easier stretches. After about 700 meters it passes below Capo Castello, a peak of 823 m, and continues to Pizzo dell'Arco, at 1,011 m, where there is a viewpoint.

Beyond the summit the trail keeps climbing, to about 1,045 m, and only in the last section does it descend some sixty meters to reach the junction with trail 516, at about 980 m. Anyone returning the same way should therefore expect a short climb on the way back too.

Trail 517 is not a loop: it ends at altitude, on another trail.

Pizzo dell'Arco Cocoscia trail map

Trail 517 is one of the sections of the Anello del Pizzo dell'Arco loop from Tallacano, which also includes trails 520, 519, 516 and 502: this is the simplest way to avoid retracing one's steps. A stage of the Grande Anello dei Borghi Ascolani also passes through Cocoscia. All these trails belong to the Rete Escursionistica del Monte Ceresa hiking network.
