When you are in the village of Serra di Scopamena, park in the car park opposite the Post Office.
(S/E) Walk up the main road of the village for about ten metres. Turn right towards the municipal campsite and the donkey farm. The road to follow is characterised by a very steep, winding climb. The start of the hike is also marked by yellow directional signs (village of Aullène) and orange paint (Mare à Mare).
Take this section and walk until you reach the donkey farm on your left and the municipal campsite on your right. Continue walking along the tarmac road, which turns into a track. A few hundred metres further on, you will come to a large flat area and a three-way junction. Leave the track on your right and turn left to quickly reach the first sign.
(1) Turn left towards Aullène on the orange-marked trail. From there, the trail descends towards the village of Aullène. Continue along this path to reach the road connecting the villages of Serra di Scopamena and Aullène.
(2) Follow the road to the right to reach the village. Depending on the season, you can quench your thirst in a bar and eat in a restaurant. There is also a grocery store in the village.
(3) Take the road on the right just before the Hôtel de la Poste. Continue along this road, which climbs slightly and gradually moves away from the village.
(4) Turn right and continue straight ahead until you reach the point where the road turns into a track.
(5) Stay on this main route (orange markings) which climbs slightly through the holm oaks. Further on, the track gives way to a path which eventually leads to another track.
(6) Turn right towards Serra di Scopamena and continue for about 100 metres.
(7) Leave the track and take the path on the left just after the three-way junction. You can see the Aiguilles de Bavella on your left. Continue to a small pass (altitude 1040 metres).
(8) On your left, a route climbs towards Punta di a Cucciurpula (see other Visorando route). To return to the starting point of the hike, continue straight ahead following the orange markings. You will come out onto a track suitable for vehicles.
(9) Turn left and, after about 50 metres, turn right into the ferns. The path climbs before descending to the three-way junction at the start.
(1) Continue straight ahead on the track towards the municipal campsite and the donkey farm. Continue down the road and then turn left to return to the car park (S/E).
