The route starts from Via dei Siri near Villa Zambellini and continues through cultivated fields and beautiful cottages to the confluence with Via Parasio. From here one goes left along a narrow hall and passed under a viaduct turns right and at the nearby fork again right to arrive, after further ascent, to a knoll near the ancient house-tower of the Siri, where the ancient Roman road passed.

Continue on Via dei Siri that winds along the ridge called Costa dei Siri until the road becomes unpaved. After a beautiful path through typical Mediterranean scrub, the trail joins Celle's “Botanical Trail,” leave out the detour to the right that leads to the scenic summit of Torre Bregalla (262m) and follow it to the Santuario della Pace.

With a sometimes bumpy and steep descent through trees and shrubs, you come out on Via alla Pace, a paved road, and from this turning left you soon arrive on the Sassello provincial road, opposite the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Pace.
