From the "Ciäsa Granda" in Stampa, the path leads through Coltura, past Palazzo Castelmur along the narrow road to Caccior. Here you take a path into the forest and after a short while climb steadily up the wide stone steps. At the end of the climb, the forest thins out and offers a fantastic view of Piz Cengalo and the Bondasca valley, before you reach the first houses of Soglio via some pastures.
The path to Castasegna initially follows the main road and branches off after a few bends in the form of a small footpath down to the left. After crossing the road several times, the trail continues on the right at Plazza following the signpost on a gravel road. Through a tunnel under the waterfall and then through the Brentan chestnut groves to the post bus stop at Castasegna.
In Soglio and as well as in Castasegna, the hike can be easily interrupted for a sunny coffee break or lunch...
Author’s recommendation
Follow the Chestnut Trail in Brentan instead of going straight down to the village
