The itinerary follows the right side of the valley. From Piedimulera in a brief amount of time we reach Cimamulera passing from the Croppala rural community. We go through Meggiana, then go past Meggianella, and once we’ve passed the Castiglione Church we follow on towards Pecciola, reaching Molini (around the whereabouts of the Church of the Madonna of Gurva), the rural municipality of Duiamen, thus Antrogna, Inner Calasca, Barzona, and from here onwards in twenty minutes we reach Pontegrand. In order to lodge we must go back up to Bannio Anzino via a brief detour from the Stra’ Granda, taking path B15 which crosses the Anza Torrent and cuts through the hairpin bends of the carriageable road up to where the village square is reached.
