The most evocative and “local” way to move from the Lower Town to the Upper Town is by the “little stairs.”
As the name implies, these are exclusively pedestrian paths, stepped and paved with a characteristic cobblestone or galletted.
They ascend sinuously, bordered by ancient dry stone walls, through fields, terraced vegetable gardens and gardens of beautiful villas: the scenery that will come into your view will enchant you at every step.
The “scalette” are also a place loved by sportsmen in search of training: in fact, they are paths away from traffic, quiet and picturesque.
The Scorlazzone is the natural continuation of the Scorlazzino, which climbs from Lower Town, and with its 162 flat but sloping steps it is definitely one of the most challenging.
If you find yourself on Sudorno Street, look for the little fountain protected by an archway, take the slope above it, and you can begin the climb.
A real journey through time!
For sportsmen and women
Combining the two routes of the Scorlazzino and the Scorlazzone, we reach 120 meters of elevation gain, running from San Martino della Pigrizia Street to the vicinity of San Vigilio Castle!
Not a bad location for a jog!
