A moderately demanding route that leads to the discovery of important sights such as the geological site of the Segonzano Pyramids, bizarre earth pinnacles topped by a large boulder, and the breathtaking panorama from the top of the village of Bedollo.
A tour that requires more effort in the first part of the route, in which you go up through the village of Bedollo and then continue along a forest road through the pine forest leading to a now abandoned village: Gausaldo. This is the highest point of the tour. From here on, the route proceeds on a long descent through the forest to discover a series of interesting places: the Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Aiuto (Our Lady of Help) and the ancient village of Stedro di Segonzano, with its ancient little church and view of the Avisio Valley. Worthy of note are two observation points with a privileged view of the earth pyramids of Segonzano, on the asphalt road leading to Quaras.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
From Centrale, go uphill through the village of Bedollo to the hamlet of Svaldi, where the provincial road ends. It is also possible to reach the top of the village by turning into the historic centre of Bedollo following the paved road. Continue left, first on the paved road and then on the dirt road, as far as the Capitel del Frànzele. Immediately after the capital, turn right onto the mule track and, crossing the wood, reach the dirt road that climbs towards the Dosso di Segonzano. Follow it downhill for a fairly long stretch until you reach the Madonna dell'Aiuto Sanctuary. When you reach the provincial road, head towards the hamlet of Stedro di Segonzano, passing through the centre of the village and taking the road to Luc e Quaras. Here are the two observation points from above on the Segonzano Pyramids. Once past Quaras, the route becomes steeper and more demanding, with some pushing sections before reaching Marteri di Bedollo. From here, a short stretch on an asphalt road leads back to the starting point.
