From here, the highest point of the hike, the view reaches to the mountains opposite, crowned by the Pizzo Campo Tencia.

Only a short distance has to be covered to reach the agri-tourism site Alla Meta. During a stopover, local products from the farm shop La Parpaiora can be tasted. Thus strengthened, you return to the starting point along the same route.
