The Frassati Trail of Basilicata is located in the territory of Sasso di Castalda (PZ), a small Lucanian village at the foot of the Apennines. The hiking route is 22 kilometers long and consists of a 14-kilometer loop and a 4-kilometer connector path to the historic center. The trail was recreated thanks to the historical memory of the village inhabitants who used it to gather and transport wood, produce charcoal, grind wheat, and cultivate the fields.
The walk of the Frassati Trail of Basilicata is accessible to everyone; it is indeed possible to reach some points of the route by car, even for short hikes of a few kilometers. For those who choose to complete the entire path, the first mandatory stop is a visit to the historic center of Sasso di Castalda, then continue towards the Deer Oasis and embark on the Wheat Way.
Along the Frassati Trail of Basilicata, you will find yourself admiring typical farmhouses of the Lucanian countryside and magnificent beech trees located in the Costara forest. The greenery typical of this area of Basilicata will accompany you along almost the entire route.
