Highlights and tour details

You cross the Burcina Park, climbing up to Torre Martini. From here a mixed route of paths and paved roads descends towards the Rio Bolume valley until it comes to the provincial road for Pollone. After tackling the steep path that climbs towards the cemetery of Cossila San Giovanni, turn left towards Oropa. Having left the state road in the direction of the Antua equipped area, continue on the dirt road until reaching the bridge over the Oropa stream, which you cross to turn right onto Strada Pralungo-Favaro. A path through the fields leads to the village of Sant'Eurosia where you continue for a short stretch along the asphalt road. After the descent towards Rio Stono, you cross it to go back up to the locality of Bazzera. Take a mule track in the wood that ends on an asphalt road, which leads to Miagliano. Continue towards the Cervo stream, which can be crossed on a footbridge that leads to the delightful Oratory della SS. Trinità. A mule track climbs up towards the old town centre of Sagliano Micca, from where you continue towards Andorno Micca and then take the cart track that climbs with hairpin bends in the woods towards Colma. After having crossed the woods of Monte Turlo, you arrive on an asphalt road, turn right, and immediately after the fork for Vaglio, take a cart road that goes down into the woods, to reach Zumaglia.
