Pantasina - Grat - Monte Acquarone - Vasia - Torretta - Pianavia - Pantasina

The starting point of the hike is the church square in Pantasina.

Take Via Santuario (arrow in Fig. 1) for about 150 metres past the Azienda Agricola Pino. After a few metres, turn right into a small side street (arrow in Fig. 2). After about 30 metres, the small road turns into a mule track. Follow the path, which climbs steeply in places, keep right at a junction (Fig. 4) and continue climbing until you reach the provincial road again (Fig. 5). Cross the provincial road. After a few metres uphill, the mule track branches off to the left. Follow the path uphill to the ridge. Keep right at the fork (Fig. 6). It will take you about 15 to 25 minutes to reach this point. Now follow the path uphill. After another 10 to 20 minutes through the forest, you will reach an open, stony slope from where you have a beautiful view of Pantasina. Cross the open area and follow the path uphill through the forest. After another 10 - 15 minutes you will come to a fork. Take the path straight ahead (Fig. 7). You will reach a saddle from where you have a marvellous view of Tavole and Villatalla in Val Prino. Monte Faudo rises up in the background.

After approx. 5 - 10 minutes you will come to a gravel road (Fig. 8, 9), where you turn right. Follow the road downhill until you reach the provincial road again (Fig. 10). Walk up the Provinzialstraße until you reach a car park after approx. 15 - 25 minutes (Fig. 11). There, turn right into the road that leads from the car park to Lucinasco, follow the road and turn right (fig. 12) and you will come to the path that continues. Follow the path that leads over several hills, after about 60 - 85 minutes you will reach a chapel at the foot of Monte Acquarone (fig. 13, 14). Take the road to the right, after a few hundred metres you will come to a signpost where a path to the right leads downhill to Vasia (Fig. 15).

This path is marked with red and white markings and always leads back to the road from Lucinasco to Vasia (fig. 16 - 20). Eventually you come to a crossroads (fig. 21). Turn right there and continue straight ahead (fig. 22). Go downhill to a fork in the road (fig. 23), turn left there and follow the road to Vasia (fig. 24). Turn right (fig. 24) and follow the provincial road via Torretta, Pianavia to Pantasina.
