The first part of the route follows the old municipal road that connected Roccavione with Robilante, running along the sunny side of the valley. Once in Tetto Sales, leave the flat asphalt road to climb pleasantly through the chestnut groves until you reach the watershed ridge between the Vermenagna and Colla Valleys. The route follows the ridge and is very panoramic, with unique views both towards the upper valley and the plain behind. The route touches in succession 7 votive pillars characterized by different histories and rich in local culture. Numerous excursion alternatives join the route at high altitude, guaranteeing a great plasticity to the itinerary and offering easy connections with the valley bottom. After about 7 km you reach Colletto del Moro and the country church in Loc. Malandrè in Robilante. With an evocative half-hill route, you cross the whole territory of Robilante at high altitude, among meadows, chestnut groves, villages and charming beech woods. After about 14 km you arrive in the Vallone San Giovanni of Vernante until you reach Tetto Croce. From this point, the route of the Vermenagna Ring continues at high altitude, in the direction of the Ceresole Pass, but for those who want to stop in Vernante, it is necessary to take the descent towards the ruins of the Turusela Castle until reaching the town.
