Leaving the village of Mucciafora, the route descends through woodland along the "99 Svorte" trail, among downy oaks and ancient dry-stone walls. After reaching the valley floor, it crosses the Tissino Stream at a ford, whose passability may vary considerably after heavy rainfall. The subsequent climb leads to the plateau and then to Roccaporena. According to the route manager, the detour to the Hermitage of Stella is currently closed due to a landslide, pending restoration works.
