Those who want to shorten this long section by 2 hours can take the bus from Menaggio to Breglia (line C13) and start the walk from there. GRANDOLA ED UNITI (385 m.) can be reached by bus (line C12). Get off at the bus stop ‘bivio per Naggio’. You are now at CARDANO (part of the township Grandola). Turn into ‘Via Carlo Galbiatti’ where path 3 starts. From here follow the road (there are a few short cuts) to CODOGNA (479 m. 0.15 hours). Here, on your left, you can see the 17 th century Villa Camozzi which is now seat of the town hall, as well as cultural centre and seat of the Naturalistic Museum of the Valley Sanagra. Just past the villa turn right and follow the road leading down to the Agriturismo “La Vecchia Chioderia” with a trout nursery, restaurant and inn on the Sanagra river. Cross the bridge and just past the “agriturismo” turn left and then almost at once right and follow a steep path that winds up to BARNA (563 m. 0.35 ; 0.50 hours ). Cross through the town (pay attention to the signs on the houses) with it’s pretty church square. Leave the town behind you where a steep mule track leads uphill through the woods and passes a foun - tain with three arcades. The mule track eventually becomes a somewhat unclear path that ends on a cart track near a house which you follow left. In a brief time you reach LA PIAZZA (747 m. 0.30 ; 1.20 hours) surrounded by beautiful pastures where the track ends on a road near a lit - tle chapel called “cappelletta del Bergum ”. NB Beware that the sign with a number 3 crossed with a red stripe in - dicates the “4 Valleys Trail ”. Follow the road to the left for just a brief stretch, then leave it and follow a track to the right through the woods in an area where there are many summer residences. Just past the Troi mineral water spring, you reach San Bernardo (photo Paolo Ortelli) LA VIA DEI MONTI LARIANI - PATH 3 BREGLIA (749 m. 0.40 ; 2.00 hours) Refreshments available hotel, bus stop . For those starting this section at Breglia, from the bus stop pick up the road leading to Rifugio Menaggio (1.30 hours from Breglia )to the left and follow it for about 50 m. Then at a recently constructed residence turn right into the little alley and follow the signs for path 3. NB Beware that the sign with a number 3 crossed with a red stripe indicates the ‘4 Val - leys Trail’ . You follow the easy track leading out of town and after 10 min. you arrive at a fork where you pick up the mule track down to the right. It leads through the chestnut woods down into the Val di Greno, crosses the valley over a little bridge, and leads to the hamlet Carcente. In the middle of this nice hamlet beware not to miss the turn of to the left in order to pick up the cobbled track leading in bends up to MONTI DI CARCENTE (847 m. 1.20 ; 3.20 hours) . From there the path leads to MONTI DI TRECCIONE and on to fields with a magnificent view of the Lepontine Alps, the northern end of the lake and the Lecco branch before reaching MONTUGLIO (950 m ) road connection with Rezzonico (1.30 hours). The path then goes through the Vezzedo valley, and then on to Luina and to the beautiful MONTI DI BRACCO (1060 m. 1.00 ; 4.20 hours ) coastal connection with Cremia (1.45 hours) . Just past the little church of S. Domenico, you continue on to PIAZZUCCO . After an uneasy stretch through the dry and rocky Quaradella Valley you reach MONTI DI NARO (1190 m. 0.50 ; 5.10 hours) surrounded by a pinewood. From the fountain in the middle of the houses the trail continues to the pasture fields of Alpe N’ALCIM (1200 m.) , with beautiful view of the surrounding peaks. A bit further, and you are at the highest point (1250 m) of this particular section, near Val Grande. The path then starts going gently downhill and keeping to the right, leads through the rural settlements : ADACA and SCIRESÖ . Among pasture fields you pass through BRECCHIO and the upper part of LABBIO (1020 m. 1.50 ; 7.00 hours ) where the Agriturismo Labbio is located. From Labbio the path climbs to the SADDLE OF SAN BERNARDO (1105 m.
