The first stop is at Teglio's castle tower (893 m a.s.l.), where to enjoy a great view over most of Valtellina. From the hill, the descent leads to Besta palace until the road becomes a trail on the left, leading to S. Antonio church and then to Vangione (trail with marker no. 306). Following the same direction, cross the contrada until La Sella locality (620 m a.s.l.), where Valgella wine is produced. On the right, once having almost completely passed the hill, a small bridge crosses the stream: here, the climb back starts. Turn right at S. Giovanni church and, following the indications to Teglio, cross Capitel locality first and then climb up the panoramic Dos de la Forca ridge, in whose rocks there are groups of prehistoric cup-marks. After crossing the long rise, descend towards Teglio to the wide grasslands and fields - often cultivated as buckwheat. Walk the paved road on the right for a hundred meters, then take an agricultural road on the left that crosses the grasslands to then end in Teglio.
