Roadbook
At the starting point, you will find a red arrow on the guardrail and the signpost "Monte Coccovello". It goes upwards over meadow and bush terrain, the path turns left and leads into the forest after 500 m. Now you are mostly on a beautiful, pleasantly ascending path. After about 1.5 km, the path in the forest turns right and after another 500 m heads south. (The path is continuously marked, but sometimes you have to look for the markings). Coming out of the forest, you reach a high plateau, climb a forepeak heading south, then swing southeast to reach the main summit.
