    The valley narrows and winds along the Maggia river, which impetuously follows its deep course. At the Menzonio bus stop, on the trail you can admire the Ponte della Merla. After a 12 km route you reach Prato Sornico, a village made up of two hamlets – Prato and Sornico. Here you will find a small shop where you can buy local products. The route continues towards Peccia, which hosts the International Sculpture Center and the famous Grotto Pozzasc, ending at the suggestive Piano di Peccia, from where you return retracing the same path.
