It is located at the Ponte Rosa Inn in Garessio, 1 Fasiani Street, phone 388.1588757.
Interesting loop trail that winds through the so-called Ligurian Pre-Alps that embrace the hydrographic left of the municipality of Garessio.
From the historic center (which is so picturesque that it has been named one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages), head southeast toward Colle del Quazzo, and from there, on a mix of paved and unpaved roads, continue along the ridge that separates Brico Verdiola from Monte Cianea.
At this point, skirting Bric Schenasso, it bends westward to Colle San Bernardo (now known for its impressive wind farm) and descends toward Garessio along an easy path that skirts the Rio San Mauro.
