Itinerary
Km 6,2 / Elevation change - 174
Continuing along the Sentiero dei Franchi, you reach Sapè, from which you turn to descend towards Exilles, a hamlet featuring intact Alpine architecture of stone and wood, and dominated by the impressive Fort Exilles (12th century). In the central square there is the Romanesque bell-tower and the Parish Church of San Pietro Apostolo which has a richly decorated high altar of 1681. Also the small Chapel of San Rocco, just at the exit of the town, is of interest, possibly the result of renovating an earlier building.
