From Rancio Valcuvia, the trail winds through woodlands, ancient mills, and small waterfalls, crossing a landscape rich in natural beauty and traces of the past. As the route climbs towards Masciago Primo, it rewards you with increasingly expansive views over the surrounding valleys and the Upper Verbano area.

Along the way, you'll encounter the striking Sass della Rossera, a glacial erratic boulder featuring ancient Celtic rock carvings, and pass by fortifications from the historic Cadorna Line. The arrival in Cunardo offers one final highlight: the famous Orrido di Cunardo, a fascinating complex of karst caves that makes this itinerary a journey through history, geology, and nature.
