From here, go down the valley of Pissapola. Then, go north along the valley until getting to Regione Torre and the intersection with Strada Provinciale 37.

The route continues along the main street of the municipality passing through the historic centre and going straight for about 1 km.

After 500 m you will see the church of San Desiderio on the left. Keep going until you reach the intersection with Via Valle Riti, near to the restaurant called “Santisè” that offers the typical cuisine of Piedmont.

Turn left and go straight for about 400 m until you come to a fork. Turn right, pass through Valle del Rio, until reaching Località Sassia after about 1 km.
