    The route crosses a beautiful beech forest before entering a narrow canyon just before the final ramp leading to the ruins.

    Author’s recommendation

    It is worth stopping to visit Castel Thun and to linger in its gardens to catch sight of the ruins of Castel San Pietro high above.

    Safety information

    When you reach the canyon the path becomes narrow and in two places it is equipped with a cord to hold on to in case you feel in difficulty.

    Roadbook

    You start on foot from the sports field above the village of Vigo di Ton. You walk along the football field and then follow the signs for Castel San Pietro.

    The path crosses a forest, then crosses the Rinassico stream and climbs on an old cart track through a beautiful beech wood.

    At the top of the climb the path becomes narrower and enters the canyon carved by the stream. It follows it alongside and then climbs again a beech forest on the right to reach the hill on which the ruins of Castel San Pietro stand.

    The return is along the same route as the outward journey.
