It winds along the slopes bordering the valley floor, crossing apple orchard and vineyard lands, chestnut groves, and once cultivated terraces that testify to the architecture and work done by local people in governing the land. The trail can interact with the Sentiero Valtellina bike/pedestrian path, allowing for loop routes that offer multiple possibilities, adapting to the different needs of the hiker. Signage in the circuit: the entire route is supported by informative vertical signage with notice boards, panels, and signage tables, and by horizontal or comfort signage with red and white trail marker flags and directional arrows, conforming to national hiking signage. The Castles Trail Circuit is characterized by numerous beauties that allow you to experience the Valtellina mountain territory. The trail is grafted between apple orchards, hardwood forests halfway up the mountainside, allowing direct contact with culture and tradition typical of our territory. Churches, castles, towers are a virtuous riccone heritage characterizing this portion of Valtellina.
