The route of trail 470A

It starts from trail 401 near the church of San Bartolomeo. Right at the start there is a drinking water point, and about 150 meters away a parking lot.

The trail climbs about fifteen meters in the first hundred, then descends gently until it meets trail 470. The ruins of the Fornacetta are marked beside the trail.

Trail 470A technical details

The track is 400 meters long, with 14 m of ascent and 13 of descent. The trail is maintained by CAI Ascoli Piceno.

Trail 470A map

Trail 470A serves to combine the two ascents from Ascoli: hikers can climb on trail 470 from via Spalvieri and descend on trail 401 toward the church of the Madonna del Ponte, or the other way around, switching trails at Piagge. The parking lot also makes Piagge a possible mid-slope starting point, for those who want to skip the first 350 m of elevation gain from the city.

About 250 meters further on, a second link, trail 471, connects the same two trails by way of the Eremo di San Marco. At its start, trail 470A also touches stage 7 of the Grande Anello dei Borghi Ascolani.
