Ca’ dei Lurenzat – Pra Sceresa – Fontanili trail

Published

The trail Ca’ dei Lurenzat – Pra Sceresa – Fontanili connects the village of Caspano with the locality of Fontanili and the breakfire road of the Costiera dei Cech. Little frequented!

Shortly:

  • Elevation Gain: 420 m.
  • Hiking Time: 1 hour
  • Difficulty: E
  • Max Elevation: Pra Sceresa, 1320 m.
  • Trail: marked by white and red signs, not always visible.
    Warning: although the trail is not very frequented and during the summer season some stretches are not very visible, due to the thick vegetation, this trail is still an excellent connection between the village of Caspano and the upper part of the Costiera dei Cech.

Trail Description:
From the parking lot go up a short staircase to the road that leads to the church of Caspano. Just before reaching the church you can see on the left a sign to Ca’ dei Lurenzat – Pra Sceresa – Fontanili.

At the beginning follow the steep paved trail that leads to outside the village and with many turns you pass some dry-stone walls and some abandoned chalets.

Follow the trail with some steep sections and after about 1 hour you’ll reach a dirt road in the locality of Pra Sceresa, where the trail ends.

From here you can continue to different directions: Fontanili, Ledino and the breakfire road of the Costiera dei Cech.

Descent:
Along the same trail.
