You will encounter varied terrain, from gravel paths to natural earth and even some paved sections, with a minimal elevation gain of just 90 feet (27 metres). The route leads you through diverse landscapes, including heathlands, Scots pine, birch, oak, and hornbeam forests. A highlight is the tranquil Laghetto Fametta, a pair of lakes nestled within this rich environment.
While officially rated as moderate, the trail is known for its easily accessible paths and minimal elevation changes, making it suitable for most skill levels.
