Departure
We set off by leaving the car at the car park of the former Savini Restaurant and take the Vicinale dei Fitti road, which immediately begins with a suggestive crossing of the Fosso Martasca. We begin to climb and, at the first fork, we continue to the left, reaching Frazione Fitti.
Along the Panoramic Ridge
From Frazione Fitti the path continues towards Frazione Boffalora, with a panorama that opens out onto one of the most beautiful ridges in the Oltrepò Pavese area. Here, the landscape extends in every direction, offering us unforgettable views. It is also an opportunity to cross the symbolic 45° parallel - a sign of our geographical position halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.
Towards Costa Grossa and Costaiola
Continuing on, we reach the Costa Grossa hamlet and then continue downhill to the Costaiola locality. This stretch offers a variety of landscapes and an immersion in the sounds of nature: the rustling of leaves and the singing of birds provide the ideal setting for a regenerating break.
The Descent from Castellato to the Departure
From the locality of Castellato, we take the Cerrone road for the final descent, passing through the localities of Casetta, Cerrone and Cerronetto, until we reach the starting point.
