The route of trail 276

The start is next to the Rifugio del Fargno, at 1,811 m. The first 300 meters lead almost on the level to the Passo del Fargno (1,811 m). The dirt roads that climb to the Fargno from Pintura di Bolognola and from Casali di Ussita have been closed several times by the municipalities in recent years: it is wise to check before driving up.

From the pass the climb is gentle at first, about fifty meters of elevation gain over the next half kilometer. Then it steepens: between km 0.9 and km 1.5 it goes from 1,890 to 2,045 m. A short descent of about twenty meters follows, then the final push to the summit, at about 2,100 m.

Beside the ascent, about 300 meters from the trail, lies the Forcella Cucciolara (1,912 m).

The trail ends at the summit: the return is by the same route.

Trail 276 map

Four other trails meet at the Forcella del Fargno: trail 274 to Pizzo Tre Vescovi, trail 277 to the Fonte Angagnola, trail 278 climbing from Casali di Ussita and trail 311 climbing from Bolognola. Monte Rotondo can therefore also be reached on foot from either village, by adding trail 276 to one of these ascents.
