Detailed route description
From Madonna della Gurva cross the bridge over the Anza stream and follow the signs to the hamlet of Ai Patelli. The trail runs along the banks of the Segnara stream into the valley, gaining altitude, still following the GTA signs. Past Alpe del Lago the trail continues to climb, winding a little, somewhat exposed in parts, to the Alpe Pian Lago bivouac, and after another hour or so it reaches the Usciolo pass. The last stretch of the trail is faint. The descent to Campello Monti is still along the GTA trail. Past Alpe Cunetta di Sopra and Alpe Cunetta the route circumvents a steep section by taking a long detour about midway up the slope and then heads on to the bottom of the valley near the village of Campello Monti.
