The route of trail 152
The trail begins at the junction with trail 151, above the Svolte switchbacks, with a first nearly level section of six hundred meters. Then it climbs steeply: between km 0.8 and km 1.6 it gains 200 m, the demanding part of the route. Above 1,740 m the path eases and stays almost level to the end. At km 1.95 there is a spring a few meters from the trail, and the finish is next to the Fonte Fredda.
Trail 152 map
At the Fonte Fredda, trail 152 joins trail 132: in one direction trail 132 climbs to the Sella del Banditello saddle and descends to the Fonte del Pastore, in the other it returns to Foce. Together with trails 151 and 132 it therefore allows a circuit from Foce: up the Valle di Pilato, across on trail 152, down the Banditello side.
