Description of the route

When you get to Santa Margherita, in the municipality of Lillianes, continue along the flat mule track alongside terraces and farmhouses. A short climb takes you up to the pastures, then cross the entire basin to the point where the valley becomes narrower. Start climbing up steep crags covered in conifers. Cross the stream over two small bridges and continue climbing, going under a rocky balcony on which stands the Pian Sapei cabin (1504 m). The trail is marked with red signs and continues up past small cabins on flat land alternating with steeper sections. Trail winds up the final slopes to reach a wooden cross on the hill.
