Gentle Woods Trail

Starting from the Aprica Sports Hall, continue uphill along Via Magnolta until you cross the bridge over the Aprica stream and descend for a short distance on Via Clef. At the first fork we turn left and climb for a short distance on a road that from asphalt becomes a dirt road after a curve on the right. We immediately find the first descriptive panel made by Aprica elementary school children.

Along this simple and scenic route, suitable for children, we can find, distributed along the way, several panels where the children have summarized all the useful information for organizing a safe walk in the mountains. The first section climbs in altitude very gradually, and the view of the Valtellina and the Rhaetian Alps distracts us from the effort. Once we reach the locality Corna Bassa, where we find some tables for a rest, the road begins to climb in altitude with some hairpin bends that lead us to the huts of Corna Alta.

At the fork at the third hairpin bend we turn left to the east and continue until we join the road that goes up to Magnolta (trail 326). From this point we descend to the left, taking the downhill road that passes the Magnolta "piston" and brings us back toward Aprica. Descending after passing the Aprica stream, the road from dirt becomes paved and takes us back to the starting point. (Descending the last stretch we can find the junction on the right that takes us to the life trail)
