After a series of switchbacks, follow the signs to the Colle and near a next fork (aqueduct, picnic area 4.8 km) continues to rise, near to the peak it reached the military road that climbs towards the Sanctuary of Valmala, you descend for around few tens of meters and take to the right, along a path in the birches that ends on the panoramic hill Colle della Liretta (1.105 mt).

 


 

Descent in the direction of Busca and after a few hundred meters you get on the right near a birch forest while ignoring the most obvious track that descends on the south, single-track that runs along the crest and at times crosses the military road, to the 9.5 km near a wide glade the bottom becomes asphalt you turn right through the forest up to glimpse Borgata Rivoira Inferiore.
You pass a group of houses, and reached the next junction for Rivoira Superiore continue downhill but only until the first hairpin bend to the left, where you proceed straight ahead, taking the dirt road that soon leads to Villar San Costanzo.
