Finally I managed to try my GPS data logger and is the result.
This is a perfect walk for the first warmth of spring or the last rays of sun before winter comes. CAI has the trail (path 8) and is classified as a tourist for the ride I did took me a little over 1 hour, add the time to get to the starting point on foot or by bicycle (there is no place to leave the car), you can get there or Colico lake or from the station of Piona.
From Colico along the path of the Chaco, near a curve and just before the farm, turn right along a gravel road (trail 8). After a hundred yards take a path that climbs to the left, clearly signposted. You come to a wooden fence and almost at its end to a pole signs where wanting (marking the eighth), in 5 minutes you can reach the top of the hill where is the column to serve as the guns located at Montecchio north where the fort was completed in 1914 to serve as defense against any Austrian advance through Switzerland. Just beyond, the highest point, there is a trigonometric point.
Retracing our steps, go down until you come to a pond and from there, continuing to the left and descends, more and more, in the vicinity of a wire, you can reach a small port on the lake with beautiful views of Gravesend and Domaso.
little further, pay a little attention to some rocks, we must go back and do not turn right in each case there are any error and the trail is a few meters.
and come to a cart and then to a large lawn with manse, it passed quickly reaches the lake Piona, half full of swimmers from late spring through the summer, returned to the asphalt can turn left onto Ciacci to return to the starting point or continue for 50 yards and get to the station Piona.
Ciacci''The name''is derived from two recent immigrants in the early years of last century to return from Argentina, specifically from the Gran Chaco, bought the land stretching from the south to the railroad Montecchio.
Warning . This is what the next post is a description of my trip. Decline any responsibility for what may happen on these trails if you want to go back.
