The Attrezza Path Filippo Benedetti reaches the Punta Almana (1390 m) above Lake Iseo from the eastern shore of Brescia. The real ferrata lasts about an hour from the attack, but it fits into an almost four-hour itinerary with exceptional views of the Sebino. From north to south and in reverse direction.
The starting point is Portole, small hamlet above Provaglio d’Iseo on the eastern shore of Lake Iseo (Brescia). From here take a dirt road that climbs north-east to Salt Fork (about 1 hour). At the fork you enter the forest following the path 3V/314, you will meet a crossroads and take the right towards the Sentiero Benedetti, reached about 1 hour and 15 minutes from the departure.
From ’ attack climbs through the meadows following the signs white-blue to a rocky fork. The Punta Cabrera is reached by ’, where the first diagonal nod begins on grass-terrous soil — maximum attention with the wet bottom. Follow a grassy canal and touch the Punta Cabrera, then a short descent precedes the most exposed cross , protected by cable. The final rock channel leads to the Punta Almana (1390 m), term of equipment, about 30 minutes from the ’ attack and 1 hour and 45 minutes from the start.
Easy difficulty. The equipment is adequate and the difference in level of the ferrata is limited. The point that requires greater care is the grassy bottom of the first nod, slippery if wet.
From the Punta Almana you continue towards the Croce of Pezzolo following the 3V path southward, or you reverse the path returning to the Forcella di Sale. Total itinerary: about 3 hours and 45 minutes for 8.2 km with 830 m of total altitude difference.
