A hike from Dro to the mountain village of Braila, along the ancient path that crosses the slopes of Monte Varino with a spectacular view of the Sarca Valley.
In Dro everyone knows the story of the elementary school teacher Ketty Bombardelli, who at the beginning of the twentieth century taught in town but lived in the isolated village of Braila. The only way to get from one to the other was the steep mountain trail on Monte Varino, and the teacher walked that trail every day to get to school. It is said that every evening upon her return her husband would come to meet her to help her on the steepest part, carrying her on his shoulders in his gerla – the traditional wicker basket used to carry goods on mountain trails.
This route retraces the teacher’s footsteps along the first part of the SAT 667 trail, the "Teacher's Path", and is marked with the usual red and white markings.
Braila retains all the atmosphere of a mountain village with its stone houses clustered together, surrounded by woods and with scenic views over the Sarca Valley.
