Monte Pelada is a peaceful and pleasant hill, with a modest elevation of 472 m, surrounded by greenery. Walking through the woods that cover it, the view occasionally opens onto the lakes below, glimpsed between the trees like unexpected little scenes. The route starts from Osmate and gently ascends the hill, passing chestnuts, pines, oaks, and birches, in a cool and relaxing environment.

Once at the top, the path continues downhill toward Lentate, still surrounded by forest, until reaching an erratic boulder, the Sass de la Pedana, which appears almost suddenly along the trail, adding an extra touch of charm to the walk.
