Spectacular Italy! The Passo della Cisa March 2011

Above: The Cai VF 00 track rising from Passo della Cisa

Today we went up to Passo della Cisa and I took a look at a trek link which is simply going to be out of this world when I get along it in April.

This is the link used for centuries since Saint Francis set course for Rome. At this point it reaches 1048m above sea level.

The steps here (in Emilia Romagna) lead past the church to the left or right adjoining the track behind the bell tower (sited in Tuscany) and pine clad mountains, climbing up the ridge following due west, across the Bratello range descending the valley toward Pontremoli… and Cinque Terre.
