Directions
The Nosiola Trail starts at the Santa Massenza hydroelectric power station and initially follows the lakeshore southwards through olive groves. At the roundabout, cross the road, follow the pavement to the left and take the paved lane on the right.
After passing the fish farm, turn right onto a rural farm road and begin climbing the hills of the Monti di Calavino, the heart of Nosiola cultivation. Along the way you'll come across the evocative ruins of an old stone building, where you turn left to continue uphill. Surrounded by vineyards, the trail offers stunning views over the Valle dei Laghi, the sheer cliffs of the Paganella massif and Lake Toblino.
Continue to the Church of Corgnon, then turn left and descend towards Calavino, enjoying beautiful views of Castel Madruzzo. Walk through the village, known for the small waterways that once powered its mills and for the noble residences of the Madruzzo family. At the main road, turn left and continue downhill through the countryside along Via Concordia.
Before long, the vineyards come back into view as you reach the outskirts of Padergnone. At the roadside shrine, keep right and, after about 100 metres, turn left onto Via alle Cime. This short detour avoids the main road and leads you into the village through a peaceful woodland.
Once in Padergnone, pass Casa Caveau del Vino Santo, the church and the town hall, then turn right into Via del Ponte, which runs beneath the viaduct and into the countryside overlooking Lake Santa Massenza.
Turn left onto the farm track that winds through the vineyards and follow it back towards Santa Massenza. Cross the main road and continue through the fields before rejoining the paved road alongside the hydroelectric power station. Follow it into the centre of the village, where a stop at one of the local wineries or distilleries is highly recommended. From the church square, turn left to return to the starting point.
