Via del sale up to Torriglia

via del sale - The salt road is an ancient road that leads from the French Alps to the Ligurian sea. The high route is traveled by bikers and trekking enthusiasts on the steps of ancient wayfarers. The second stage is the most panoramic and leads from Capanne di Cosola to Torriglia. It starts in a stretch of beech forest going up between Val Barbera and Val Borreca until reaching Monte Corno at 1610 m.

Along the ridge and enjoying an excellent view of the intertwining of the Apennine ridges, you go down to Capanne di Correga at 1367 m. Once at Casa del Romano we deserve a break on the viewpoint of the lake with blue waters. The path goes into the woods and climbs up to Monte Antola at 1597 m where, under the summit, a new CAI refuge has been built. the road descends rapidly towards Torriglia and near Casa Donetta we choose the mule track that leads us, under a gallery of chestnut branches, to the equestrian center. It is advisable to plan overnight stays before departure, so as not to encounter exploitation rates. Good walk!
