The route of trail 471

From trail 401, at about 595 m, the trail climbs about twenty meters in 140 meters and arrives level with the hermitage, which is about forty meters from the trail. The hermitage, documented from the 13th century, leans against the rock face of Colle San Marco and is reached by a stone staircase that crosses the ravine like a bridge.

From here the trail descends: 50 m of elevation in 300 meters, to the junction with trail 470, at about 560 m.

Trail 471 technical details

In all it is 460 meters, with 20 m of ascent and 50 of descent.

Trail 471 map

Trail 471 acts as a bridge between the two ascents leading from Ascoli toward Colle San Marco: trail 401, which continues to San Giacomo, and trail 470, which starts from via Spalvieri. Those climbing on one can switch to the other, or make the detour just to see the hermitage. In the first section it coincides with stage 7 of the Grande Anello dei Borghi Ascolani. A little lower down, a second link, trail 470A, connects the same two trails at Piagge.
