From Brinzio, the trail immediately immerses you in the peaceful atmosphere of the valley, skirting the Intrino stream and, with a short detour, offering a glimpse of the enchanting Lake Brinzio. From here, the route winds through woodlands and meadows, gently climbing towards the Motta Rossa Pass.

Beyond the valley, the landscape becomes more varied and panoramic, crossing the slopes of Mount Chiusarella and the charming hamlet of Rasa, where time seems to slow down. Here, the trail grows even more evocative as it ascends the slopes of the Sacro Monte through forests and ancient pathways.

Oronco and the First Chapel mark the approach to one of the area's most iconic landmarks, before the final descent leads gently back to Velate, where nature and history intertwine until the very last step.
