At the marketplace of Fonteno, we turn sharply right onto Via Campello until the upward fork, then follow the paved Via Torquato Tasso for a long stretch until the driving ban. Beyond that, several hairpin bends on the steep, paved mountain alley lead up to a parking lot, where the hiking trail CAI568 begins. At first, path 568 is paved and stepped, then wide and gravelled, and finally you walk on an earthy, rooty path up to the Colle di Luen in the forest. We turn left and follow the eastern ridge to an alpine meadow. At a wayside shrine with resting benches, we enter the forest again and cross from the eastern ridge to the steep, rocky-earthy southeast ridge, which is ascended in a few hairpin bends to the summit of Monte Boario with a large wooden cross. Now we follow the ridge westwards, bypassing the following ridge hill on the very steep northern flank. The first bird-catching stations are passed through. Past the Malga Torrezzo, we reach the stone cairn of Monte Torrezzo along a stone wall. On the southern ridge, a direct descent to the Monumento dai Caduti is possible. The pyramid-shaped grassy hill Il Coletto can be bypassed on the right via alpine roads or crossed directly. We hike southwards on the paved road or with light ups and downs through a bird-catching station on the ridge left of the road to a fork. On the left, you can climb the unnamed hill ahead via an alpine path or bypass it on the paved road to the right. We reach resting benches at a farmhouse. Above the building on the left, an alpine path crosses in a wide right arc down to the Colle Cagadura. A wide hiking trail finally leads up in trail traces to Punta del Bert or around it on the right. We reach the saddle before Monte Creo. On a driving road, we reach the summit with its large transmitter facility. Back to the saddle. On the right, the Sentiero Agrituristico del Lago d'Iseo leads steeply down to a paved road, which is followed into a ditch and finally slightly ascending back to the starting point at Fonteno.
