The route of trail 278

In Casali, near the start, there are the Fonte di Casali spring, the Rifugio Casali and the church of Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio.

The effort is concentrated in the first part. The first 2.7 km gain 600 m of elevation, over 220 for every kilometer. Two water points are marked along this climb, at km 1 and at km 2.5; at the second one the trail crosses trail 280.

Above 1,700 m the gradient eases. The last two kilometers gain just over a hundred meters, with a short stretch of gentle descent, to the Passo del Fargno (1,811 m). Three hundred meters later the trail reaches the mountain hut and the pass.

Trail 278 technical details

The ascent also includes about forty meters of descent.

To return to Casali without retracing the same route, there is trail 277 to the Fonte Angagnola and from there trail 275, whose other end is a few meters from the start of trail 278.
