Coming from Rucce, leave the car near the church of S.Nicolò to continue, path 136, on the road towards Viacce. (1,2,3,4)
At the beginning of the village take path 136A which enters the inhabited area, turns right then climbs to exit in the last houses where, on the right, a dirt road begins. (5,6,7,8,9)
After a first climb, at the fork, continue on the right and then leave three more forks, always on the right side, until the path continues diagonally with an alternation of short but steep switchback deviations that gain altitude. (10,11,12,13,14)
After a pass among rocks begins the steepest and less obvious section, paying attention to the first fork which leaves the path to climb on the right following, first, a rock outcrop, then, a grassy slope in the same direction. (15,16,17,18)
You reach another path, not visible from below, to follow on the left to leave it shortly after climbing on the right diagonally through a steep meadow to intercept another path. (19,20,21,22,23,24)
Going right you return in the direction of M. Culumeo climbing slightly towards the ridge, without reaching it; after some sparse trees a wire fence is overcome on rocks, some steps, a trail marker with 136A (and 10) to arrive, shortly above, at the fork with 236 (10). (25,26,27,28,29,30,31)
On a clearly visible path, path 236 (10), go right to the ridge to overcome it and head towards Passo Cattivo, a rocky saddle where care is needed on the small path crossing the steep slope. (32,33,34,35,36,37)
Down at the fork path 236 (10) climbs, on the left, to the ridge of M. Lo Spicchio and 136 descends to Rucce on a beautiful forest path leaving a first fork on the right, which descends, and a second on the left, which climbs. (38,39,40,41,42)
In sight of Rucce the signage, existing for some time, leaves the dirt road that climbs straight and descends to the right towards the first house where there is now a precarious barrier; therefore it is better not to follow this route anymore but continue, path n., with the said dirt road entering the village then returning to the road that goes to S. Nicolò. (43,44,45,46,47)
