Il 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 to the historic center. The trail was recreated thanks to the historical memory of the town’s inhabitants who used it to go collect and transport wood, produce charcoal, grind wheat, and cultivate the fields.
The walk of the Frassati Trail of Basilicata is accessible to everyone; indeed, it is possible to reach some points of the path by car, even for short excursions of a few kilometers. For those who decide to do the complete route, the first mandatory stop is a visit to the historic center of Sasso di Castalda, then continue towards the Deer Oasis and undertake the Wheat Way.
Along the path of 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 characteristic greenery of this area of Basilicata will accompany you along almost the entire route.
