Park at the bridge over the River Bravona. Coming from Pianello, the car park is on the left. Otherwise, coming from Matra, it’s on the right. There’s a small car park just after or before the bridge.
(S/E) Cross the D16 and the bridge over the Bravona.
(1) At the crossroads, head towards the waterfall (10 mins): there are no signposts but it’s easy to find. Follow the River Bravona to the waterfall.
(2) Take the same path back, then follow the D16 towards Poggio. You’ll come to the first Calvary tomb.
(3) Turn right onto the path to reach the village of Poggio.
(4) Head towards Pinzalone on the Mare a Mare Nord trail (orange markings). Along the way, you’ll pass
another Calvary tomb and then the Canale stream to reach the crossroads at St Vincent’s Chapel.
(5) Continue along the path to the left, crossing the River Bravona, towards the Chapel of Saint Vincent. Reach the chapel.
(6) To the right of the chapel, between two walls, take the path which begins to wind its way uphill to reach the Péri stream. Turn right towards the Péri stream, cross it and head for its source.
(7) Turn left towards the Péri sheepfolds. You’ll reach them quickly.
(8) Continue along the path towards the Péri huts and, at the next crossroads, turn right to reach them.
(9) Continue due north to reach Punta di Caldane after a steep climb.
(10) Begin the return journey along the same route, perhaps making a short circular loop around the summit pasture (option shown on the map). Return to the starting car park (S/E).
(confirmed by the village roadmender: I had to insist politely to be allowed through…). It’s best to set off from the village now. Follow the yellow markings, then the orange ones (mare a mare), then the yellow ones
