Starting from Colle Caprile (m 481 sl), we go towards Calcinara hamlet among the town buildings and then crossing the asphalted road walking a dirt road through the woods. We now follow the asphalter road towards Monte Fasce for 2 kilometers. Just before the Alpini chapel, we turn left and follow a beautiful plain path with dry stone walls, marked with a two-red-lines waymark.

We proceed until the junction for the hamlet of Capreno, we turn left walking the path that follows for a long stretch the contour line and gradually descends.
At the crossroad of the panoramic path, near Monte Castelletto, we turn right following the two-red-lines waymark again, until the statue of the Redeemer at Sant'Uberto (m 460 sl). Now the path goes steeply downhill through the woods and in about 20 minutes we reach Sant'Apollinare church (m 244 sl). From the church we walk southbound, crossing amazing olive groves and buildings, then we gradually descend until the town of Recco.
