A narrow, steep mule track. This was the only link between Bratta and the village along with a few other paths until the middle of the last century. In the 1950s the construction of a new driveway began, which reached the hamlet in 1971, in time to unfortunately see the village depopulated. Since then Bratta has been frequented mostly in the summer period as a resort. The old road preserves evidence of past peasant life, particularly the typical stone 'baitei' with circular roofs. At several points the mule track, mostly immersed in the forest, meets the driveway. From the Hotel Altavilla one climbs along Via Ai Monti until it meets, crosses the Valle stream and continues on Via Prada where the paved road gives way to dirt road.
