A short but challenging tour: the trail is characterized by roots, rocks, and steps that require constant attention and concentration. It is ideal for both less experienced trail runners who wish to approach this discipline and more advanced runners looking for a stimulating workout.
Starting from the Avegno Paese bus stop, the trail begins with a short stretch of asphalt road that leads through the picturesque historic center of the village. From here, you access the trail, which is predominantly flat but interspersed with some short climbs. Upon reaching the locality of Sasciòi, you cross the main road: it is essential to pay attention to vehicular traffic to ensure safety.
The route continues by crossing the pedestrian and cycle bridge of Ponte Brolla, a perfect spot for a short break and to enjoy the breathtaking view of the gorges, sculpted and smoothed over time by the river. After crossing the bridge, a short stretch of asphalt road leads back to the forest trail, where you pass typical grotti that enrich the local atmosphere.
This section of the trail alternates flat stretches with short but intense climbs, ideal for interval training. Running along the Maggia River, the sound of the water accompanies your steps, offering an immersive experience in nature. In summer, the route becomes even more inviting, with the possibility of refreshing yourself with a rejuvenating dip in the clear waters of the river.
The trail concludes in Avegno, a perfect circular route for those seeking a mix of technique, nature, and dynamic training.
