You reach the Certosa di Montebenedetto, where it is possible to admire the abbey church, restored between 1987 and 2000.

For the descent, cross the Rio Molesecco on a beautiful stone bridge and follow the signs for the Certosa di Banda (trail no. 523, then no. 512). The trail descends steeply to the Gravio stream, which can be crossed by a ford, then reaches the hamlet of Banda, where the homonymous Certosa stands (not visitable).
From Banda, cover the last stretch of road to return to the village.

Route passable all year round. Due to its northern exposure, in winter months it is possible to find snow or ice.
