The Via del Ceneri
A fascinating itinerary embracing history, environment

and culture on a mountain that unites.
An itinerary for discovering what the pass has represented for centuries. A link between the Sopraceneri and Sottoceneri, a place of passage for traders, merchants and pilgrims. The Ceneri forests were home to the “bread of the poor”, while its woods saw the development of a rural civilisation that enjoyed a sustainable relationship with the environment, as illustrated by the many structures and buildings saved from oblivion. A community based on the changing seasons and solidarity.
