IL SENTIERO DELLE ESPRESSIONI - Foresta Regionale Valle Intelvi
The Path of Expressions, thanks to a project that combines forests, art and tourism, is a collaboration between ERSAF, the Municipality of Schignano and the artists of the Association M.A.S.C.H.E.R.A., known for its traditional carnival wooden masks.
The skilled wood carvers have created, with gouges and chisels, works of art in the woods: the bark and the tree trunks have thus become expressions of joy and surprise, symbols of wisdom and paternity, intense and exciting faces.
The path leads the visitor to the discovery of a sculpture after another, in a pleasant location in the Regional Forest of the Valle Intelvi.
Every year artisans realize new sculpture!
How to get to the trail: from Schignano (Co) center, follow the signs to the hamlet Posa (840 m), where you can park. Proceed on foot (signs) towards the Alpe Nava (about 20 min), the starting point of the trail of the Expressions (easy path practicability).
PATH:
From Alpe di Nava (950 m) continue in the direction of the beautiful valley of the Alpe Comana (1,096 meters), where there are a tiny lake (called “bolla”), farming buildings and The Farmhouse la Pratolina. From there, with a steep but short climb, you reach the panoramic peak of Mount Comana (1,210 meters), from which opens a spectacular view of Lake Como. The path continues in the wood, following the thread crest in the direction of the Roccolo del Messo (1,153 mt), ancient structure for the capture of the birds recovered from ERSAF, and Colma Binate (1,125 meters), along the route named "La Conca Schignano ". Some educational panels contains information on rural architecture of the valley and the mountain pastures of regional ownership.
