The Alta Via starts off in Villa di Teolo at the Trattoria Vecchio Tram; turn left at the start of the A-road to Teolo.
Once past the Degora river and Maltese Baroni farm, head north along the trail, which will initially run along the foot of the hill and then climb Mount Arrigon. Once the trail slopes slightly downhill, it detours to the right and along a steep path till it reaches the long crest of Mount Pirio, and then continues in a southerly direction through chestnut and hornbeam woods featuring butcher's broom and arbutus; it runs steeply downhill and then along a dirt road till it reaches the Settimo Cielo restaurant.
