From Pagliero, avoid climbing up the valley that culminates along the slopes of Mount Birrone, following the ups and downs in the direction of the hamlets of Scombe, Paolini and Fracchie, first on asphalt, then on the forest track. You cross Fracchie hamlet, and, once you leave the village, avoid turning at the first junction towards the Droneretto valley. Follow the asphalt downhill for a short distance and take the slow and shady path on the right that leads to Robbio Superiore and Inferiore (Upper and Lower) hamlets. Here you must pay particular attention to identify, on the right, the panoramic path that cuts the slopes of Monte Rubbio halfway up the hill. The particularly sunny exposure of the first part of the path contrasts with the shady and wooded descent on Camoglieres. Before arriving at the end of the stage, the small chapel of San Bernardo appears unexpectedly.
