    From Alpe di Neggia, the path winds for about 3 km towards Pasturone until a fork in the trail. There you have the choice: either continue to the picturesque village of Indemini or ascend to the Oratory Sant'Anna. The latter route runs along a scenic path through the forest.

    Once the Oratory Sant'Anna is reached, the path continues with a slight descent towards Alpetto. After Alpe, the last ascent begins: about 2.5 km to the summit of Monte Gambarogno.

    Here, a break at Capanna Gambarogno is recommended, where you can relax on the panoramic terrace with a fine coffee and enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore.

    The final descent quickly leads back to the starting point, Alpe di Neggia, rounding off a perfect route for trail running enthusiasts and lovers of fantastic panoramas.
