The mule track from Iselle

Map Iselle - Pianezza - Chiezo - Trasq

From the Iselle train station, a carefully marked path leads, passing through Pianezza and Chiezzo, to the centre of Trasquera.
The trail is well marked, but exposed in some parts. If it is wet there is a risk of slipping. Duration: 1.5 hours.

S_Gallery entrance

One of the portals of the Simplon tunnel. The tunnel has two lanes. The openings at the top belong to a bunker system for the defense of the tunnel during the two world wars.

S_bunker above track

The bunker is reached via an overgrown path with a rusted iron area west of the train station.

S_Iselle mule track

An elaborate path winds up the steep rock face. Large blocks of stone have been stacked to form steep steps. If you don't have your head up, you can hold on to the handrail, which is missing or wobbly in places.
