From Camoglieres you have the possibility to walk the panoramic Sentiero dei Ciclamini (Cyclamen Path), which runs along the limestone walls of Crocetta Soprana and Punta Raveirola (via ferrata and equipped cliff) in an environment that is picturesque due to the abundant flowering of orchids in the spring and cyclamen in late summer. When you reach the Langra mountain hut, follow the signs for Centenero/Caudano, uphill to 1296 metres and then along a hillside that climbs and descends. Once at the Caudano mountain hut, it is worth stopping for a few minutes to admire the ancient lazaret (1463 A.D.). The itinerary continues with a constant pace; the panoramic view further on is breathtaking: the Gothic bell tower of the church of San Peyre di Stroppo (XIII century) with the bordering peaks of the upper valley and the village, perched on the steep slopes of San Martino, the destination of the stage. The path passes the mountain huts Cucchiales and Ciamin to get there.

Church of San Peyre di Stroppo: splendid bell tower in alpine gothic style with several frescoed scenes from the late Middle Ages inside; among these, in addition to Christ enthroned, the Apostles, the Evangelists and several saints. There is the interesting scene of the Dormitio Virginis (Dormition of the Virgin Mary) and inside the minor apse there is the fresco of painted music with the shepherd playing the piva (bagpipes), an instrument symbolising folk music. Ancient Hospital and Lazzaretto (place of quarantine for people with contagious diseases): its construction in the hamlet of Caudano dates back to 7 July 1463, thanks to the interest of a noble family of that time, the Agnesi. You can still admire the ancient structure of a hospital "pro receptatione Christi pauperum" today.
