You can start at Funtana Vignente. Please note, there are only two parking spaces by the fountain. Alternatively, 200 metres from the start, there is a small area where you can park two vehicles (depending on the route chosen). Please ensure you do not park too far onto the road, as this could cause a hindrance to passing traffic.
(S/E) Follow the road to the right, up to the fountain: a sign indicates: 1h30 – Corscia via the old Scala.
(1) Take the path which runs more or less parallel to the D84. Make a few wide bends, going up and down, until you reach a sign pointing to the hamlet of Costa.
(2) Turn right onto the path that winds upwards, following the cairns. Continue along the rocky path above the distant roar of the Ruda with its fantastic pools and reach Ponte Sottano, a marvel with its natural pools.
(3) Take a break to cool off: a magnificent spot. Then begin the descent through a forest full of scents: yellow marker. You’ll reach a memorial dedicated to the tracker pilot who died fighting a forest fire.
(4) Continue the descent, heading south, and reach the junction with the return path.
(5) Turn right to visit the hamlet of Costa. On leaving, follow the road to Saint-Sauveur Church.
(6) Retrace your steps slightly and head down the winding tarmac road to reach the town hall. Turn left, walk past the building and continue straight on along a dirt track. When you reach the buildings, leave this track on the left to follow a path that joins it further on. Continue until you reach the junction you passed earlier.
(5) Turn right, open the gate, walk alongside the electricity pylon and head down the path on the right to rejoin the Scala di Santa Regina transhumance trail.
(7) Turn left and follow this picturesque path, with a series of ascents and descents and a magnificent view over the Golo valley. A few oddly shaped boulders line the path and the noise of passing lorries and coaches carries up to this level. Reach the two-arched Pont di l'Accia, which rests on an imposing boulder: a wonderful spot for a swim.
(8) Continue straight on to rejoin the path you took on the way there.
(2) Head straight on to the fountain and the D84.
(1) Turn left and follow the road to the car park (S/E).
