Monte Casto

Monte Casto rises to an elevation of 1,138 meters, forming part of the watershed between the Cervo Valley and Strona di Mosso Valley in northern Italy.

The mountain slopes underwent substantial reforestation initiatives during the early twentieth century, though these plantations experienced considerable damage during wartime periods.

The Monte Casto Trail, established in 2006, evolved into a qualifying event for the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, attracting runners from across the region.

Multiple access points to the summit exist through forest tracks, with primary routes starting from the Selle farmhouse near Tavigliano and the Trabbia section of Callabiana.

The western slope contains extensive coniferous forests, presenting an unusual ecological feature for the Biella region where such tree species rarely occur naturally.
