The route of trail 458

The starting point is the junction where trail 457 arrives, at 715 m, just above the hamlet of Colle.

The climb is steady in the first part: about 120 m of elevation gain in the first one and a half kilometers. At km 1.6 the trail passes about a hundred meters from the Grotta della Margherita cave (910 m), and right after, trail 473 branches off, climbing to Monte Vena Rossa by way of the cave itself.

In the last 600 meters the gradient increases and the trail gains another 130 m, up to the end at 965 m, in the locality of Giammatura. The summit of Monte Giammatura (1,034 m), with the ruins of a mountain hut, is about 200 meters away; in the same area there is a snow pit.
