Today with Nicola and Massimo Giana Pizzatti Savogno we went in the town of Piura (SO) to make an inspection tour of the elementary Castionetto we do Tuesday, April 27.
The program should be:
Yard Departure Castionetto elementary school by bus at around 8:15 or as soon as possible. Arriving at 9.45 in
Valchiavenna in Borgonuovo (fraction of Piura) at a height of 400 m (point 1 of the map).
At 10 we start the climb to the stop location "Ronchi Stables" where we will see the houses and among other things an old press beam pressing (similar in type to that of handling included).
continue on the path to climb the steps of passing the crotti Savogno (3) and reaching Savogno (4) at an altitude of 950 m around 12.
In the yard of the church we will do lunch, so we'll go to the shelter to give us a cake.
Savogno visit the village and the old sawmill.
Around 13:30 we will be heading towards Dasile (5) arriving at 14 at the highest point of our trip at 1100.
also visit the small town and see an old chestnut.
During the inspection we had to go down a path (in red on the map) but which proved unsuitable for children because it is full foliage and therefore dangerous.
Then return to the good road made to climb up to Savogno.
From here we will descend for another path to the top of the falls dell'acquafragia (6) where we will spend on a catwalk (Indiana Jones style, but absolutely no danger!) And we will go to an observation point of the first jump the falls.
descend to return to the bus arriving at about 16.
Here, if we have complied with the timetable, we will transfer by bus to visit the prostate where crotto Belvedere and we will do another walk to Chiavenna going to see a pot of giants.
Departing Chiavenna arriving at around 17:30 Castionetto to 19.
