Viano to Aiola and back

A walk out from Il Fortino on less used local paths.

Route: From the far end of Viano on the lower TL (Trekking Lunigiana) 12 path to the end of the ridge and then down hill through trees on a rough track to reach Campiglione/Vezzanello. Then a spurious circuit of the upper village before descending on the road to regain the proper path at the church. Then across the hillside to reach a road at Terina and then back on tracks to join the road above Monzone. From a footbridge across the river, an ancient pitched path to reach Aiola with a view back to Viano (pictured). Back in the same way but following the correct path from the church to Vezzanello.

Conditions: Warm and sunny.

Pub: A bottle of La Matta amber on a wall in Aiola.
