The path then continues through Mediterranean scrub, with beautiful open 360-degree views. A subsequent descent leads to the area of Pian Gaggin and with further trail in the forested area, to the clearing of Prato dello Specchio. You then take the path uphill and keeping to the right at the fork, you reach the watershed, and then a further fork, from which you soon reach the provincial road, just before the La Pace Sanctuary.
