This route illustrates the charm of the Valley of Biois, with its characteristic spots, its inhabited fractions perched on green slopes, among beautiful forests of conifers, and all of this surrounded by wondrous mountains.

The path that is suggested here departs from Canale d'Agordo, passes through the town of Sachet, after crossing Carfon, and then climbs up to the Monumental Church of San Simon. The church could be reached directly by car, but a walk in the countryside and among the houses and huts definitely helps to prepare in the best way the spirit and the mood of the visitor.

Access

Canale d'Agordo is located at the side of SS346, and can be reached by crossing the bridge over the stream Biois. There are several parking areas.
