The start of the trail is in the small square below the Municipality where it is possible to leave the car. From here, cross the village heading towards Dusone. At the first intersection at the CAI signpost, follow signs for Madonnina-Mulini; at the next intersection, keep right continuing on the paved road towards Dusone and then to the Mulino della Ghelfa. At this point, the route follows exclusively mule tracks and forest trails. From here, it runs along the bank of the Finale Stream and reaches the locality Mulini where there is still a fully functioning mill. At this point, after a short climb, you reach the church of St. Gregory from where you enjoy a wide view of the nearby Orobie Alps. Along the route, you can clearly see the signs of man who, since ancient times, has modified the natural environment. Following the trail, you find the ancient crafts, traditional products, tools of the past up to the natural features of the woods and rocks. After passing the church of St. Gregory, ascend to the municipal road to Prato Isio, descend for a few dozen meters, then take a steep path to the left that enters the woods. From here continue in the woods until reaching, at the end of the path, a junction that through a well-marked mule track leads us to the highest and most panoramic point of the route from where the Postalesio Pyramids are visible. At this point, going back about 50 meters in elevation from the highest point, at a plateau, turn right along a path that then leads to a forest trail. From here descend on the paved road of Prato Isio and reach the locality Stalli where the hydroelectric plant of the Municipality of Berbenno di Valtellina is located. The return to Berbenno is planned along a long stretch of municipal road or along the ascent route.
