Medium difficulty route that from the town center of Mezzana, located halfway up the Val di Sole, first leads to the Mezzana Waterfall and then reaches the small hamlet of Castello, at an altitude of 1283 meters, concluding the loop passing through Claiano.
The route starts from the town center of Mezzana and reaches the Mezzana Waterfall, where you can enjoy the beauty of nature by taking a break to admire the rushing waters of the waterfall crashing onto the rocks below. The circular route continues reaching Castello, the typical mountain village located at 1283 meters altitude, then ends in Claiano and returns to the starting point.
Rules for mountain walks:
Starting from the town center of Mezzana, more precisely from Piazza Trento, where you can't miss a quick visit to the church of Saints Peter and Paul and the Sanctuary of Madonna di Caravaggio with their wooden altars and beautiful frescoes, walk along Via Maturi for about 150 meters and cross the Rio Spona. Once you have crossed the river, take the road on the right that leads to Plazza della Novalina. Here take the road on the left and after 500 meters you will reach the majestic and roaring waters of the Mezzana Waterfall. To continue along the circular route, head back until you take the left road towards Plaze. From here, continue towards Castello until you reach the characteristic alpine structures called "Masi de Guil" and then descend along the trail that leads to Claiano. From Claiano, cross the state road using a convenient underpass and take the forest road near Pont de le Caore. Then return to Mezzana.
Alternatively, after admiring the waterfalls, you can return along the same path and head towards Mason, a place known for its dry stone walls. Once in Mason, crossing wide panoramic meadows, you can reach Menas.
To tackle this walk we recommend wearing hiking boots and a hat and bringing a waterproof jacket, sunscreen, and a water bottle in your backpack.
