From here you start to climb toward Buttogno, pass the bridge over the Rio Cui and crossing extensive hay meadows you soon come to the centre of Buttogno, then after a gentle descent, the centre of Crana.

Following the signs of route 7, you cross the bridge over the Melezzo Orientale and climb again toward Toceno, then cross wide clearings and continue on almost level ground to Vocogno, with a beautiful panoramic view of the valley floor.
