Downstream from San Martino in Pedriolo, keep the trail towards Via Riniera or ford towards the left side of the river where possible (easy in summer).

Fascinating village for its architecture and the street art that is scattered throughout the citadel.

Tough climb but on dirt roads and panoramic from above towards the Sillaro Valley

Coming from Monte del Re the route descends towards Sillaro, deviating from via Riniera, which at that point is a dirt road. It is essentially a "single track", but certainly within everyone's reach, fun and panoramic. I have not tried it, but it seems to me that it also lends itself to being traveled uphill.

Unfortunately today 28-10-2024 the little bridge is completely destroyed by the fall of a tree after the last floods of the Sellustra torrent

Beautiful climb that connects San Martino in Pedriolo to Via Tanari. Long, good surface, dirt road very well maintained. The last 400 MT before Via Tanari are quite challenging. Here the surface changes, it becomes a cavedagna, now in summer the climb is good, the surface is good and even.
