The route of Trail 470

The start is at about 180 m and the trail climbs without a break: the gradient is almost the same from start to finish.

After 1.7 km it passes through San Savino, at 431 m. At km 2.3 it reaches Piagge: the ruins of the Fornacetta are right on the trail, while the parking lot and water point are a couple of hundred meters away. A little further on, one after the other, come the two links leading to trail 401: 470A and 471, the latter heading to the Eremo di San Marco hermitage.

The last, highest section skirts the ruins of the monastery of San Lorenzo, built by the Benedictines in 750 and now covered by vegetation, and passes just over a hundred meters from the Fonte and Grotta del Beato Corrado, a spring and cave: the cave is reached with a short detour. The trail arrives at Colle San Marco at about 690 m; on the plateau there are several drinking water points.
