The route starts at the base of the impressive waterfalls, where, among the meadows on their right, a path crosses a small stream. From here, on the left, you reach the last houses of the Sarlone district; still on the left, along the trail through dense woods, you quickly ascend to the first waterfall drop, easily accessible thanks to staircases covering some sections. At the second waterfall drop, it is possible to admire the landscape in all its magnificence from dedicated panoramic viewpoints. Continuing up to the second fork, from where, on the left, a rope bridge leads to the opposite side of the stream, then take the right at a second fork. After crossing another bridge and returning to the original slope, the path rejoins the cobbled trail that leads to Savogno (932 m above sea level).
An extraordinary panorama opens up from the churchyard, from which you can venture into exploring the village, rich in scenic views and charming details. The descent, which initially follows the same route as the ascent, continues along the main cobbled path, first passing the Crotti of Savogno and then the Stalle dei Ronchi, finally returning to Sarlone, the starting point.
