At the next curve, leave the paved road and head down to the right through the woods. When you reach a lovely hazelnut grove, turn to the right and descend along the edge of the woods. When you have passed the town’s water reservoir, return to the paved road near the lovely Villa Bergolo. Take the road across from the house and continue along the garden toward a white house until you reach the gate.
Continue to the right along a trail that isn’t very evident. Stay along the edge of the cultivated field and pass a second water reservoir. Enter the woods here and continue along the stony trail until you reach the first homes of the hamlet of Bergamaschi. When you have passed the courtyards of two homes, stay along the crest of the hill through a steep section of very rough road, then return to the paved road in the centre of town. Cross the Bormida river and head up to the left to the main highway. Follow the highway for a few dozen metres to the hamlet of Gorretta, then head up a steep paved road that will take you directly to the main square in Torre Bormida.
PLEASE NOTE: Responsibility for the maintenance and practicability of the various trails lies with the municipalities where the routes are located. The Tourist Board, therefore, cannot be held responsible for any inefficiencies, but is willingly available to collect your reports so that they can be forwarded to the authorities concerned.
