Tips from the Community
ATTENTION from July 29, 2022, there is an ordinance prohibiting the continuation of the circular route. The ordinance states: the closure to anyone of trail no. 342 which runs along the riverbed of the Fiastrone in the locality "Gole del Fiastrone". Therefore, once you reach the cave of the friars (among other things with a poorly marked and dangerous path with a significant elevation gain) you must turn back and not complete the circular route. This excursion should be modified.

I did the entire route with a friend March 22, 2025 ... Up to the river everything is doable, after which an adventure with a capital A! The path that should follow the Fiastrone river is now erased by landslides and brambles. There are two options ... Either go up the steep descent that brought you to the river or continue inside the river. For those who continue inside the river .... Maximum attention! Better in company. We encountered stretches of water with a depth of 80/90 cm. Freezing water! While we were there we saw a live landslide and falling huge rocks. So I would say almost extreme hiking and therefore good training and experience required!

I recommend not doing the whole route but going back after reaching Grotta dei Frati. In fact, going down further, you reach the river and to continue you literally have to walk into it. There is no path on the side. In addition, after crossing the river and taking the path again, the road is impassable due to a landslide since 2022. Nice route but the circular tour is no longer possible.

This round is not possible. As Sandra said above, down by the stream you can't continue the route. We actually had to climb 400 meters back up on 43% steepness and go back the way we came to reach the lake. DON'T go to the stream, return after you have seen grotto dei frati.

This hike is strenuous up to the grotto but very beautiful. Attention: the route is sometimes very demanding and, with a 43% descent, is really not easy. VERY IMPORTANT, down by the stream we couldn't find the way back to the lake!!!!!!! We then turned off the path and walked to Monastero and walked the SP 91 back to the lake!!!!!
