From Peghera to Sottochiesa

A thread of trail stitching together the villages of Taleggio, one after another, like beads on a rosary of stone. From Peghera to Sottochiesa you cross the valley from side to side: down to the Enna stream, back up among meadows and chestnut trees, into hamlets where time is still measured by the sound of church bells.

The route

You start from Peghera, next to the church of San Giacomo Maggiore, and descend to the Enna, the lowest point of the walk (about 600 m). A fine climb leads to Olda, a natural terrace over the valley, and then to San Bartolomeo with its church and old roccolo.

The trail continues through the hamlets of Termenù and Caraver to Pizzino and the Corna, then descends to the Villaggio dei Tigli and arrives in Sottochiesa, next to the little church of Santa Rosa.
