- Strada Provinciale 209, 21 - This will be the starting point of the hiking which will completely stretch into the wilderness retrating the old Spoleto - Norcia Railway. Among the tunnels dug into the rock, in absolute darkness, we will talk about a technological jewel of the ‘900, a flagship of central Italy that in the ‘70s was dismantled.

In our fast-paced existence, where eyes are always set on tomorrow, stepping into Valnerina feels like traveling back through the annals of time. Here, you can appreciate the historic methods of mountain traversal and unearth how a humble stream engraved an expansive ravine into the land, a feature acknowledged even during pre-Roman epochs.
Amidst the claustrophobic confines of the hard-stone tunnels, enveloped in pitch-blackness, we will discuss an engineering marvel of the 1900s, a prominent icon of central Italy that was disassembled in the 70s. Amidst friendly banter and casual conversation, we’ll take a closer look at the geology around us and then ascend to higher vantage points to gaze upon Valnerina from an aerial perspective. If fortune favours us, we may even experience a spectacular sunset.
