From Alpe Foppa, the trail descends into the Valle del Trodo along an ancient mule track through a cool beech wood. About halfway down, history comes to life: once you reach Nágra, you discover a fascinating military fort dating back to World War I. The itinerary then continues towards Monte Ceneri, crossing a beautiful, recently restored chestnut forest, to end with an easy flat stretch to Soresina.
