(S/E) With your back to the road you arrived on, continue along this road on foot. Ignore the road on your right, you will return that way. Cross the bridge over the Pieve stream and immediately turn right onto the path with a directional post (no sign in August 2021) at its entrance.
Orange trail markers
Climb up and cross the stream on the right. Pass the wash house and fountain. At the fork, turn left and continue climbing. At the road, turn left.
(1) At the post near the house, turn left towards Punta di Sarrado. Follow the path, which is muddy in places as the stream runs alongside it. Walk in the open for a short S-bend. Return under the trees and the stream on the path. Continue to the crossroads.
(2) Go straight ahead and stay between the low walls. Pass a pile of rocks. Ignore a small mistake in the markings and continue climbing. At the end of the low wall, the path returns to the contour line. Walk until you reach a track.
(3) Turn left. Ignore the path on your left leading to the reservoir and take the path just after it. The climb is quite steep, through ferns and in the open. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead. Further on, keep to the left and, at the fork, take the left-hand path. Turn around to enjoy a superb view of the valley. As you walk, you will see Serra di Scopamène before entering the trees.
Walk along the path, which follows the contour line and climbs at the end. Come out into the open and you will reach the orientation table. View of the villages of Alta Rocca and the Aiguilles de Bavella, etc.
(4) With your back to the orientation table, go straight ahead on the track passing in front of the building. Ignore the paths on your left and, at the fork near a building under a tree, go left. At the house, keep to the right and pass by a cistern. At the signpost, follow Punta di Sarrado and Althagè, and climb uphill.
(5) At the top, turn right and then left. Begin the descent. Cross the track and continue straight ahead. Cross the track again and continue straight ahead. Walk under the trees for a short while, then return to open ground.
(6) Take the ravine and return under the trees. Follow the low wall. At the sign, turn right. Pick up a path on your right. Cross the track once, then a second time, and take the path opposite with a low wall on each side. Pass a muddy area, a spring, and keep to your right. Descend, where a stream joins the path. Continue to the track.
(7) Make a quick first turn left then right. Pass a low wall on your right and continue to the left. Do not cross the stream just yet. Descend and cross the stream further on. Continue along the path and enter the village. Walk to the steps on your left behind a low wall. Markings end.
No markings
(8) Take the stairs and keep to your left at the front door of a house. At the road, turn left and walk past the church. At the first road, turn right and walk past the church forecourt. Go down and take the stairs on the left. Follow the path. At the road, turn left and return to the Altagène car park (S/E).
