Trail 227, Montefortino: Forcella Angagnola – trails N224-N226

The route of trail 227

The average gradient is around 20 percent. In the first 800 meters the descent is gentler, about a hundred meters; then the trail becomes steep, and between km 0.8 and km 1.4 it loses 180 m.

Halfway down, at km 1.4, at 1,600 m, is the Casale Rinaldi farmhouse, about thirty meters from the trail. Next to the farmhouse there is a water point and just before it a spring: they are the only ones on the route.

Below the farmhouse the descent continues steadily for just over a kilometer, to the junction.
