The route

From Piazza Aldo Moro, follow via Roma and via Cantù towards the Valle hamlet, passing via Caterina Nobil Valle and a small tunnel. Continue to Collareda near San Francesco church, then climb the old mule path between stone terraces. Return to Torrebelvicino along the Enna road.

Route 32 is a 7 km loop, with 2 hours 15 minutes and 310 m ascent given by Pro Loco. Its name recalls Jenny Gecchelin’s book. The source calls it less demanding than panoramic route 31: this is a comparison, not a CAI grade.

The first part includes a narrow passage, a stream and the small tunnel; it is not entirely on roads. The waterfall mentioned in the source depends on rainfall, which is not a reason to attempt the walk in bad weather. Prefer dry, snow-free ground and check conditions first.

The photograph shows San Lorenzo in Torrebelvicino as a view of the starting town, not San Francesco church at Collareda.

Stories along the way

Before leaving Piazza Aldo Moro, San Lorenzo offers a first encounter with Torrebelvicino. The Lanerossi story shows how the Leogra and textile work changed the village. This is the setting of the departure, not a factory visit. Returning along the Enna road is different from walking to the fort.
