The path is 8.4 Km long, with a difference in altitude of 450 metres and it takes about two hours complete it without stops. Leaving the car in piazza Serra in Briaglia, take the street among the ridge till the detour for the lakes of Briaglia, after the little bridge over the lake the road starts to go up toward the hamlet of Boschi and San Teobaldo where there are a shady picnic area and a fountain. The itinerary continues on an asphalt road passing in front of the big bench of Niella Tanaro, till the detour that will arrive to the valley floor at the hypogeum of Casnea.
