Jacopeo d'Anaunia Path – VI stage
This is a very scenic stage that runs along the final part of the right side of Noce and then climbs up on the opposite side to Vigo di Ton.
<p>This stage is quite demanding due to the altitude difference to encounter and overcome, and can be shortened if necessary by stopping at Crescino (after km 12.5).</p> <p>In this sixth stage of the Path we take in Castel la Santa, once a monastery and hermitage of the Teutonic Knights; the Hermitage of S. Pancrazio, an ancient hermitage that offered accommodation to travellers on one of the ancient mountain roads that led to Madonna di Campiglio; in Segonzone we find the ancient church of SS. Filippo and Giacomo and Castel Belasi. At the end of the stage, Castel Thun, a splendid mansion that gave birth to the powerful Thun family and at least ten bishops in Trentino and Austria.</p>

From Flavon to Vigo di Ton.
A very panoramic stage that follows the final part of the right side of the Noce river and then climbs the opposite slope up to Vigo di Ton.
This stage is quite challenging due to the elevation differences overcome and can be shortened by stopping at Crescino (12.5 km).
In the sixth stage of the Camino, we encounter Castel la Santa, once a monastery and hermitage of the Teutonic Knights; the Hermitage of St. Pancras, an ancient hermitage that offered lodging to travelers on one of the ancient mountain roads that led to Madonna di Campiglio; in Segonzone, there is the ancient little church of Saints Philip and James and Castel Belasi.

Roadbook
The sixth stage begins by returning to the Flavon pine forest, passing the small lake and reaching Cunevo. The pilgrim heads towards "Castel la Santa," once a monastery and hermitage of the Teutonic Knights. Then continue towards the Termon chapel dedicated to Pope John XXIII and following a forest road uphill and a short descent, you arrive at the Hermitage of St. Pancras, an ancient hermitage located above Campodenno in a beautiful pinewood. Passing it, you follow a farm road through orchards and woods leading to Lover, descend to Segonzone and then to Crescino, passing a small chapel dedicated to "Salve Regina."
With the local train from Crescino to Trento, you cross the Noce river in just a few minutes and descend to the Masi di Vigo station on the opposite slope of the valley and then climb towards the homonymous village. Then a forest road, first uphill and then downhill, will lead to the gates of Vigo di Ton at the foot of Castel Thun, end of the stage.
This stage is quite challenging due to the elevation differences overcome and can be shortened by stopping at Crescino (12.5 km).

Equipment
Anyone who sets out on the way and wishes to reach their destination without problems must wear a good pair of comfortable shoes, preferably with a lug sole (like Vibram) and ankle protection (like hiking boots), but in which the foot is well secured to avoid blisters or, worse, risk of sprains. It is also advisable to carry a stick (or even better, telescopic poles) to help while walking, especially in some more challenging passages.Localization
