    The outermost loop trail is included in the official SwitzerlandMobility routes (No. 957). 

    « The squirrel » trail starts at the left end of the square, and follows the trail to Piumogna until reaching the Cima Froda chapel. From there, turning to the right, continue towards the magnificent and renowned Boscobello, and then descend back to the village or to « the hedgehog » trail. For those who wish to continue in the direction of Val Piumogna, follow « the wolf » trail.
