Starting from the town of Monleale, we cross the bridge over the Curone river and we get into the town of Volpedo. We can take some time to visit this town, Saint Peter’s Romanesque Parish Church and Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo artist studio.
We turn right and walk about 300 meters along the river until we reach the town bowling alley, then we turn left and go ahead 200 meters until the crossroad. We now turn right and head straight until La Cappelletta restaurant. We walk along the asphalted road, climbing until the Zebedassite quarry.
The route continues on a dirt road until Zebedassi hamlet (339 mt sl). We cross the hamlet on the asphalted downhill until we reach Torrino hamlet (243 mt sl), San Vittore hamlet (258 mt sl) after 1 km and the town of Momperone (279 mt sl).
We walk along the golf club and we go straight 1 km following the main road to Cecima, until Carona hamlet and, after 1 km, Ramella hamlet (324 mt sl).
