A moderately long stage that is entirely traversed at an altitude between 500 and 850 meters. It starts from the village of Garzeno and heads towards Lake Como, skirting the ridge that separates the Albano valley from the Liro valley. Once in the latter, the path winds for a considerable distance, approaching the rural settlements of Boiena and Vincino, where a bridge allows crossing to the left bank of the stream that leads back toward the lake. Continuing at this altitude, the village of Dosso del Liro is passed, and after a final foray into an adjacent valley, the journey continues until reaching Peglio, an excellent vantage point over Lake Lario and the endpoint of the stage.
