The route of trail 302

It can be divided into three parts.

The first, from Monte Alago to Colfiorito, is about twenty kilometers long and runs from village to village, almost always between 620 and 950 m. From Monte Alago (948 m), where there are a parking lot and a picnic area, the trail descends via the Passo Carosina to Bagnara (640 m); then it climbs again to Collecroce (872 m) and Annifo (874 m), and reaches Colfiorito, at 760 m. At least one water point is marked in each of these villages.

The second part is the highest and most isolated. From Colfiorito, via Taverne and Dignano, the trail climbs onto the ridge and stays there for about fifteen kilometers: it passes close to Monte Cipolleta, Monte Pizzuto and Monte Petetta and touches the summit of Monte Cavallo (1,485 m), the highest point, around km 36. After the Fonte dell'Aria di Dignano spring it is advisable to carry all the water needed for this section.

The third part descends toward Visso: Fonte Sambuco, the Casale Pian della Cuna, the Casale Saliere (1,290 m) and finally the 500 m descent to Croce, at 768 m.

Trail 302 technical details

The highest point is the summit of Monte Cavallo, at 1,485 m; in the direction described, the trail ends about 180 m lower than the start, from 948 to 768 m.

Trail 302 map

For two long sections trail 302 coincides with the CAI Sentiero Italia: from Colfiorito for about 7.5 km with stage N07, and in the final part for 4 km with stage N06. Colfiorito, reachable by car, is the natural point to split the traverse. The Casale Saliere is one of the accommodation points of the Sentiero Italia.
