loop of Otteria

Fuchsia Petal

It is a 14.9 km trail with a positive difference in altitude of 608 metres. It is mainly located in the territory of Vicoforte, with the highest and lowest altitude in the fuchsia petal (rio Otteria 387 metres a.s.l.  –  bricco della Guardia 616 metres a.s.l.). The perfect starting point for this trail is the Sanctuary of Vicoforte. From here the trail continues between the vineyards in via Montex, the long road descending in front of the ravines of rio Otteria, among meadows and woods, and it returns up to the panoramic viewpoint of Briaglia, a lovely place for a lunch breack, with its tables and fountain. Out of the itinerary, it is necessary to cover the Provincial road for 500 metres, passing in front of the Parish church in the hamlet of Vaschetti where, returning on the fuchsia petal, it is possible to arrive over the hill of Guardia in the territory of Vicoforte, passing through S. Grato, and next to cascina Monsignore. Then, through beautiful meadows, it is possible to reach Vicoforte, near the mill, and returning to the Sanctuary thanks to the cycle lane.
