The organization has limited food: go quickly to the points of interest, otherwise after 3:00 p.m. food is no longer served.

Start from the town and choose the route to follow according to your own abilities. A fairly complete route (to reach the 12 stations necessary to receive the certificate at the end of the day) involves climbing along the ancient Romea path through trees and mosses up to Pian Castagnolo (from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the valley). Then you reach Capanno Tassoni with ups and downs, from which you reach Casa Carboni and from there descend back to the town.
Start from the town choosing one route related to the fatigue one would suffer. Our route reaches 12 locations that are the minimum to obtain the certificate of participation. Follow the old Romea route until Pian Castagnolo, then reach Capanno Tassoni, then go to Casa Carboni and finally return to Ospitale.
