Starting from Piazza delle sei contrade, walk east along Corso Roma until you reach the intersection that leads to the church of SS Pietro e Paolo and the Sanctuary dedicated to Mary Help of Christians. Continue up via Panoramica, and shortly above the sanctuary, you will find the start of the trail on the right.
The first part climbs across meadows heading east, passing some dry stone walls. The view of Aprica, especially of Baradello and the Adamello group, accompanies us until entering a spruce forest. The trail climbs until it reaches and merges with an unpaved road. Turn right and follow the road which, with little elevation change, reaches the locality “Plane” where there is a fork. Take the left path and at the next fork, keep right. The trail reaches the Pian di Gembro nature reserve and the picnic area.
