Gallinarga – Colle del Giogo path
The first stretch of the path crosses Gallinarga locality (200 m.), a hamlet of the town of Tavernola directly facing the lake. After passing the residential area, take a narrow rural road for about 600 metres which climbs the hillside and passes through steep meadows and olive groves. Then take a right on a path which, entering a woodland of hornbeams and oaks, climbs in altitude to Case il Monte (588 m.) and Punta Alta (953 m.) In addition to offering a remarkable panorama on the lake, Punta Ala is also path 734’s point of arrival and the centre of a provincial wildlife sanctuary. After reaching this level, the path continues downhill northwest following along a wooded ridge to the large meadowland known as Colle del Gioco (800 m.).
