Easy and scenic hike at the gates of Claut, at the top of the hill overlooking the town.
We start walking from the Conca Verde of Claut (606 mslm). We follow the walk along the Ciàdula stream, make the small hairpin bend and follow the road through the houses of the village to thesmall church of San Rocco. We take the path to the right of the little church (looking at it), ignore the 384 marker and start climbing the paved road. We cross the bridge over the Ciafurle; at the second hairpin bend, we take trail 385, which comes off to the left (660 m). We arrive at Stalla Piais (773 m) and follow the trail making the sharp bend. Continuing at altitude, we reach a crossroads where we take a right, climbing in altitude to a saddle (840 m) with a view of Claut. We continue uphill and reach the top of Col dei Piais (876 m) and the small church dedicated to San Gualberto. To return to Claut, we go back to the saddle, take the path on the right (always 385) that descends until it crosses the asphalt road that takes us back to the village; when we arrive at the little Church of San Rocco, following the way up, we return to the starting point.
This hike can be the antechamber to the San Gualberto Ridges Trail, a more challenging (but also very rewarding) itinerary that makes for a nice hike at altitude starting from the village.
