    The journey begins in the village of Cugnasco, following the "Sentee di Lögh" which crosses the hill and some characteristic clusters of houses. Upon reaching the locality of Colètt, the path enters the forest and becomes steeper, passing through the Monti Velloni, Pianèll, and Pianazzöö, until reaching the Monti della Gana. Once at the top, take the time to recover and enjoy the splendid panorama that encompasses Lake Maggiore and the Piano di Magadino.
