IndraTRAIL-Mount Acuto and Tenetra (English Version)

Route: Cagli/Acquaviva – Tenetra – Casetta dei Mochi – rifugio Cotaline – Foce – Buonconsiglio – Acquaviva/Cagli

Time 3 hours– Distance 37km – Altitude difference 1300m

The route starts at the junction of the Acquaviva petrol station but, to avoid having a long climb from the outset, you could also consider starting further down the valley near Cagli. We climb along the road, following the signs for Monte Catria. The climb is long but pleasant and takes us around the summit of Tenetra and Monte Alto. Continuing along the panoramic road, we descend for a short distance in front of the Casetta dei Mochi hut and continue straight ahead without turning left at the junction for Frontone. The road goes round the Acuto and so we come close to the Cotaline refuge, where we can stop if we wish. Our route, however, descends to the service road of the ski lifts, passing in the first part across the “highway” built to construct the second section of the ski lift. Fortunately, after the new arrival station of the ski lift, the route remains as it was in the original and takes us along a non-trivial descent towards Caprile, Foce and then onto the Frontone-Pergola road that will take us back to our starting point.
