WAYMARKS:

Long stretches marked by red-white paint waymarks.

From the hotel of Capanne di Cosola (m 1496 sl) you continue towards Bogli for 500m, then turn right on a dirt road that is steep and up-hill which takes you first to the summit of Monte Cavalmurone (m 1670 sl) and immediately after Monte Legnà (m 1669 sl).​

Going down the ridge you reach Sella di Cartasegna (m 1466 sl), keeping to your left you go into a beech woods and you leave Monte Carmo on your left  outflanking it on the westside. The route now goes down a large dirt road to the hamlet of Capanne di Carrega (m 1365 sl), turning left you go onto a tarred road for a short distance which takes you to Casa del Romano. At the road sign which shows the change of region you go right on a dirt road that takes you through woods and fields, a grass slope along the watershed between the valleys of Trebbia and Borbera.
You go up mildly  through fields with a lovely view of Monte Carmo, Lesima and Alfeo;  you arrive at a small flat picnic area, in a few minutes you reach a plateau where you are able to see  beautiful views of Lago del Brugneto.  There is a mild descent towards the west and you arrive at the Passo delle Tre Croci (m1495 sl).

With a trail marked with two yellow rhomb to your left you continue on a flat path along a ridge covered with beech trees, then you go down abruptly for tens of metres.
​
After a short flat distance, you go up steeply for 15mins to reach the summit of Monte Antola (m 1597 sl). Descending from the summit you come to a small group of abandoned houses and a refurbished church; going south-west you can rest at the refuge of Monte Antola. From this refuge starts a flat trail that becomes a mule track with steps that descends with a remarkable steepness in the direction of Torriglia, first you arrive at Casa Piccetto (m 1386 sl) then on to Passo dei Colletti (m 1297 sl), the hamlet of Donnetta (m 999 sl) and finally Torriglia (m 769 sl).​
