This route spans 4.2 miles (6.8 km) and involves an elevation gain of 1223 feet (373 metres), typically taking around 2 hours and 19 minutes to complete. You will find yourself immersed in lush forests and rolling hills, with opportunities to reach the Poggio di Montieri Summit for panoramic views.
To start your adventure, you can usually find parking near the historic town of Montieri, which serves as the convenient starting point for this circular walk. The paths are generally accessible, but some sections may require you to be sure-footed, especially on the ascent to Poggio di Montieri. The descent includes a segment on a paved road that is closed to traffic before rejoining a forest path.
This trail is nestled within the beautiful Parco Nazionale delle Colline Metallifere, offering more than just natural beauty. As you hike, you can explore The Beech Forest and even take short detours to ancient silver mines, connecting you to Montieri's rich historical mining heritage. It is a great way to experience both the natural and cultural history of the region.
