The itinerary follows the left hydrographic side of the valley. From Piedimulera you can reach Cimamulera passing through the hamlet of Croppala. In Cimamulera it is worth stopping at the church to admire the wonderful monumental tree. Continuing along the beautiful, paved mule tracks you pass by Meggiana, Meggianella and, past the church of Castiglione, you reach Pecciola. Then you reach Molini (near the church of the Madonna della Gurva), crossing point with the GTA, continue through the hamlet of Duiamen, then Antrogna, Calasca Dentro, Barzona and finally in about twenty minutes you reach Pontegrande.

Along the itinerary there is a succession of churches, oratories, votive chapels and frescoes that bear witness to how Faith was a strong support to the difficulties of the hard-daily life of the past. Points of interest: Old town centre and Ferrari Tower in Piedimulera, Press of Morlongo, Oratory of San Carlo and Chapel "Degli Scufui", old town centre and Church of Castiglione, Village of Colombetti, Village of Antrogna, Church "La cattedrale tra i boschi", Museum of the Militia of Calasca, Old town centre of Calasca Dentro, Old town centre and church of Bannio, Militia of Bannio. The most beautiful corner of Pontegrande is, without a doubt, the locality of "PIODA", where on an enormous erratic boulder transported by the glaciers, situated on a sheer drop to the Anza river, stands the church dedicated to Saints Pietro and Paolo, built in 1670, surrounded by houses that fit well into the environment. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the east face of Monte Rosa.
