The route of Trail 132

At Foce there are parking lots, a picnic area, drinking water points and the Taverna della Montagna mountain hut. The climb begins almost immediately and is relentless for four and a half kilometers: from 943 to about 1,800 m. In the lower part is the Fonte della Cerasa spring, at km 1.3; then the trail crosses the Fosso Cupo, the Fosso Cardosa and the Fosso Cugnolo streams.

At km 4.1 the trail passes the Fonte Fredda spring, where trail 152 arrives from the Valle di Pilato. Half a kilometer higher it reaches the Sella del Banditello saddle, at 1,823 m, the highest point. From the saddle it descends for almost two kilometers, losing about 290 m, to the Fonte del Pastore, at 1,524 m.

It is a demanding trail, with sections of tall grass and rough ground.

The return to Foce involves climbing back about 290 m to the saddle before the long descent: overall, out and back, almost 1,200 m of ascent.
