    From the Cret parking lot on the right we find the marker picket. Here the trail begins. Following it downhill we pass a few streams until we reach the "Pinareul Arios" Farmhouse and then cross the road that goes up to Colle Ciardonet, which we take to the Right to descend to a crossroads (notice board) here we take to the Left towards the "Fiorendo" Farmhouse above which the path begins flanked by dozens of stupendous, over 100-year-old Chestnut trees, and wooden sculptures depicting inhabitants of the forest. The trail crosses Trail 049, which climbs from Colle Eremita to Colle Ciardonet, and you take it to the left as far as Colle Ciardonet. From here take Path 061 to the left and continue uphill to the Colle Crò, skirting the ruins of Borgata Cossulera. When we come in sight of the square of the Colle Crò we take the road downhill to the Cret parking lot, closing the loop

    Author’s recommendation

    Along the trail you will encounter beautiful utracentennial chestnut trees and sculptures of woodland-dwelling creatures.
