ITINERARY
This itinerary crosses wonderful integral natural atmosphere, among beechwoods, pine woods and fir woods; it meets three mountain huts, the Monte Fumaiolo one also, winter-destination of skiers; the itinerary ends on Eremo di S. Alberico.
In some short part of the route, you have to go on by foot or, if in descent, you have to be very careful.
The route is just wonderful and the best time to go is in Spring and Summer; however the eventually muddy parts are not so much

 

CRITICAL POINTS
After the slab at km 3,7, you must go right for 50 m and left along a not so much visible path, entering in the forest.
Ahead 50 m from the Moia mountain hut, you go down the second path on the right. Once you get to asphalt road again, after the Sources of Tevere, pay attention to the path that detaches on the left, after 700 meters of descent.

BY-PASS
Once at the small square of Faggio Scritto, instead to go up till the Biancaneve Mountain Hut, you go right, in order to immediately get to the Monte Fumaiolo Pass, from where you can reach Balze town on the asphalt road.
The natural scenery is just unforgettable.
