The route of trail 311

The start is just below the Forcella del Fargno and the mountain hut. After 400 meters the trail passes the Fonte del Fargno spring, at about 1,685 m.

The real descent is in the first two and a half kilometers: from 1,780 to 1,240 m, that is 540 m of elevation, more than 200 per kilometer. On this section the trail repeatedly meets the Strada del Fargno, which descends the same slope.

Below 1,240 m the gradient eases considerably. The last three kilometers lose just over a hundred meters; at km 4.6 there are a drinking water point and a picnic area. The track ends about 250 meters from Villa da Capo, the highest hamlet of Bolognola.
