The route heads towards Paradiso, where there is the option to climb Monte San Salvatore, then continue on to Pazzallo.
From here you cross the forest to reach Alpe Vicania, surrounded by green pastures. You continue towards the church of Madonna d'Ongero and its Via Crucis. The route continues on dirt roads up to Parco San Grato, an ideal place for a break thanks to its rich botanical variety.
