Relaxing walk by the refreshing waters of the Gadera stream and through shady conifer woods, sloping gently uphill from La Villa to the enchanting village of San Cassiano at the feet of the Lavarela and Conturines peaks.

Also ideal for families, the first part of the trail from La Villa is at the moment quite steep because of a deviation, therefore it is not advisable with strollers.

Details

From the bus stop in the centre of La Villa, descend eastwards until you reach the Gadera river and follow the directions for San Cassiano (nr. 11). The Tru di Artisć/Path of Artists starts at the power house, goes along the Gadera stream and will lead you to the village of San Cassiano (1526 m) (50 min.). From here, you can continue in the same direction, slightly uphill at the start but then becoming more even, through the beautiful pastures until reaching Armentarola (1621 m) and the bus stop.
