A stage of moderate elevation gain that still follows the regional border with Emilia Romagna. The trail is characterized by numerous ups and downs, but predominantly descends, overseeing the vast watershed that flows down towards the valley, feeding the Vara River. After passing through the Passo del Sericiotto, you will go near the summit of Monte la Crocetta and descend to Colla Craiolo, where the cozy agriturismo Colle del Faggio is located for overnight stays.
