Hiking – Pontemaglio, Veglio and Castello dei Picchi

At the arrival of the bus in Pontemaglio, take the mule track that leads to the centre of the village, crossing the splendid arched bridge that is still perfectly preserved. From the oratory, continue along the G00 del Gries route and after passing a chapel leave the G00 route on the left; after a few metres take the path that leads to the “Castello dei Picchi”. From the castle, the route continues on the level to the ancient village of Veglio. Cross it to the oratory, slightly set apart from the town, from where a road begins connecting Veglio to Montecrestese. Follow a short stretch of trail, go past the Scarpia Chapel and at a hut take a pleasant path on a mule track that leads to the junction for Pontemaglio. Along a large mule track, marked G00a, which is the variant of the Gries road, you finally reach the starting point.
