Description

From Piazza Vittorio Veneto, follow the east side of Corso XXVI Aprile and then via Cesare Battisti to the roundabout:

Turn right (via Giuseppe di Vittorio) then take the first street on the left (viale Cervi followed by Via Brodolini) until its end at the exit of the city. Turn right on the track that goes up the Torrente Versa valley in the vineyards. At the crossroads with the SP134, turn left onto this road towards the hills, cross the hamlet of Casa Bianca and then climb up to the top of the ridge line that dominates the Torrente Versa valley.
At the roundabout at the entrance to Montu Beccaria, turn right to cross the village. In the centre, go down with the SP134 (via Roma) which crosses the SP43. At the crossroads, follow on the left the SP43 which goes up, turn right at the next crossroads (direction Poggiolo) and cross the hamlet of Castagnola. This small road follows the rising ridge line in the vineyards.
In a yaw on the left of the SP43, continue in the axis to find a road (Friazone Guastona) further down at Casa Bersagliere. Continue until the crossroads with the SP172 (cemetery), turn right and go down towards the village of Donelasco. At the crossroads with the street that goes up to the church, leave SP172 and go down the path to the left in the vineyards that leads to the bottom of the hamlet of Valdamonte. Go up to the center past a chapel and turn right on SP189. In a sharp bend to the right of the road, turn left into the dirt road that joins SP42 and the hamlet of Soriasco.
In the centre after the castle, take the small road on the right. This road climbs regularly in the vineyards. At the first bend, continue to the right on the dirt road that turns and climbs into the vineyards. After a passage in the forest, turn left to go up to the village of Golferenzo (via dei Rivoni), continue along via Roma in the village and turn right to join the SP153. After the first bend, turn right to join the road below. At the last junction marked by the junction with the SP41, turn left on this road until the next junction on the right with the SP40.
Turn right and then further left on the path in the vineyards. Cross a stream on a bridge, turn left at the next crossing and join the SP40 which goes up to the right towards the hamlet of Colombara. At the entrance before the bend of the road, turn right down the path through the vineyards to the creek. After the bridge, turn left towards SP201 and the hamlet of Caseo.
At the war memorial, turn left into Via Giuseppe Zanini, which goes up to Canevino.
