Continue on the provincial road up to the crossroads for Salza. ignore the deviation for Campo la Salza (paved road) and for the Galleria Gianna (path) and you reach the hamlet of Didiero, seat of the Municipality of Salza. Past the municipal seat, continue for a few hundred meters up to the junction, on the dirt road, for Colletto delle Fontane. From here, follow the dirt road for a few hundred meters and then take a right onto the path. From this crossroads, the path cuts the dirt road several times, until it joins it just below the hill. Upon reaching the hill, there is a fountain, located in the center of a crossroads of dirt roads. Continue from the hill passing on the meadow where an equipped area has been created, and climb up until you reach the Serrevecchio hill. From the pass you descend along paths and old mule tracks, crossing the villages of Serrevecchio and Bounous, until you reach Rodoretto.
