Trails for Different Nature Experiences
The “Valèri” Trail is a circular route lasting approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes on the slopes of Monte Argento. It is suitable for anyone looking to relax in nature. Its approximate duration provides a tangible reference point when you are dividing your time between forests, panoramic views and other destinations around Varano Marchesi.
The “La Batù” Trail leads to a historic and particularly impressive site in Varano Marchesi and is also suitable for mountain bikes. It is also the natural continuation of the “Valèri” Trail.
The Fontanafredda variant passes through the forest to the entrance to Batù. If you choose routes based on their landscape character, the connection between the forest and Batù is the main focus here.
Biodiversity in the Heart of the Town
In the heart of Varano Marchesi is the “Campo dei Frutti Antichi”. Since 2015, it has been an initiative launched by the Pro Loco to protect local biodiversity. The focus here is therefore not only on the landscape as an experience, but also on protecting local diversity.
