Valchiavenna is not just \u201csterile and very high mountains with large rocks,\u201d as Leonardo da Vinci also mentioned during his stay in 1490.<\/p>\n

It is a splendid place that offers perfect conditions to practice advanced hiking, in search of historical-cultural as well as gastronomic aspects. The possibility of understanding elements of a rural life now transformed is close at hand. One way to embrace this opportunity is to visit the delightful village of Uschione, in the Municipality of Chiavenna, located at an altitude of 832 meters.<\/p>\n

The access to the oldest mule track route is found by going to the locality \u201cDeserto,\u201d in via al Tiglio (behind the train station).<\/p>\n

To help locate the route, there are convenient signposts.<\/p>\n

The mule track consists of countless steps. It is quite easy and walkable by anyone. It leads us, in about fifteen minutes, to the meadows of the \u201cBelvedere\u201d (470 m) from which you can enjoy a splendid view of Chiavenna and the entrance to the three valleys. Above Chiavenna, the village of Pianazzola is clearly visible and higher up the Dal\u00f2 cross. We resume the path that goes into the woods, passing near an ancient soapstone quarry until reaching, near a fountain, a large boulder known locally as the \u201csass che gota,\u201d meaning dripping rock. Just beyond, the woods thin out. Here are the huts of \u201ccontrada Zarucchi,\u201d and immediately after those of the \u201cPighetti,\u201d whose beautiful and ancient buildings form the central core of Uschione. I love walking around the plateau around which the village gathers.<\/p>\n

There is an intense silence, broken only by the sound of fountain water.<\/p>\n

The path crossing Uschione naturally leads towards the little church of 1609 dedicated to the Ascension.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
