The route of trail 242A

The starting junction is reached from Agolla, a hamlet of Sefro, after 1.7 km on trail 242.

The first section climbs to a pass at 1,035 m and continues toward the Colle Pidocchio (1,116 m), which remains about a hundred meters away. Just before the hill, at km 1.1, trail 242E arrives from Seppio.

From the Colle Pidocchio the final ramp begins: two hundred meters of elevation gain in eight hundred meters, up to the summit, at km 2.2. A viewpoint is marked at the summit.

The descent is on the other side. After 550 meters, at about 1,200 m, the trail meets the end of trail 242G, which also climbs from Seppio; another 350 meters of descent and trail 242 is reached again.

Trail 242A technical details

The trail is 3.1 km long.

Trail 242A map

From Seppio on trail 242E to the Colle Pidocchio, or on trails 242E and 242G, which comes out north of the summit: the two routes form a loop right on trail 242A. From Pioraco or Costa San Severo by climbing to 1,080 m on trail 241 or 241B and taking trail 242 for 400 meters.
