The following day's leg follows the Capanna Barone same path down to Sonogno. In direction Piodoo, down to the Corte della Pianca, to the Corte di Fondo, there over the wooden bridge and to Cabiói. Along the Verzasca to the village of Sonogno, where the bus (line Locarno-Tenero-Sonogno) runs and a tour of the village is worthwhile. The Museum and the House of Wool are unique!
