From the bottom of the Colle Crò square, take a downhill path that then becomes a track continuing through the pine forest until crossing near the Crò Cliffs and continuing practically flat with a beautiful view of the Grandubbione Valleys until the Eglantina Spring. Then you reach the junction with the track that would lead to the mentioned Valleys and the track from Colle Ceresera to Colle del Besso. Keep right to climb to Colle Colletto. Here a detour is mandatory by taking the descending track on the left then immediately veer right (M. Freidour sign) to reach the panoramic Monte 7 Confini with an equipped area. The name is historically perhaps linked to the territorial contiguity of various municipalities. Return to Colle Colletto and to close the loop, follow the track on the left descending through a splendid beech forest, crossing the so-called Lemina Springs (small plaque on the rocks to the right); once in sight of the Colle Crò square, the loop ends
