This route allows you to pass through many hamlets located in the lower band of Albosaggia. The ascent is entirely on asphalt with a fairly steep average gradient and some stretches exceeding 15%. The descent, on the other hand, is on a dirt road with a fairly rocky surface. The start is from the parking lot near the white bridge over the Adda of the Sentiero Valtellina and climbs towards Albosaggia Center; from here you continue in the direction of Campelli. In the first section up to the junction for San Giacomo, we have the steepest gradients. The itinerary passes above the Paganoni nucleus and below the houses of Mantegone and San Giacomo, all reachable by short detours. Then you reach San Bernardo with its small church. From here begins the descent on a dirt road that turns left and returns east, touching other scattered Albosaggia hamlets in the woods. Two steep hairpin bends with uneven ground and a long paved traverse bring you back to the Center and the starting point.
