Starting in front of the town hall, you cross the center of the village of San Martino with its medieval houses and the ancient bell tower, then enter woods and hillsides on a simple dirt road. You thus reach the village of Silva, where you connect with the main route of the Anello Morena Ovest, a thematic route about the formation of these hills by the Balteo glacier: numerous geoboards at significant points present geological phenomena with clear explanations.
Contained elevation gain (60 meters) over a length of 2.5 kilometers: a pleasant walk even on foot.
Starting in front of the town hall, take via Torreano (signpost for Silva) which ends in the main street (Arduino): turn left and follow the entire road until you reach SP 56. Cross the provincial road and take the street in front, which becomes a dirt road shortly after turning right around the playground. Then turn left and proceed on the cart track until you meet SP 56 again in Silva: crossing the road and keeping to the left leads you to the main route of the Anello Morena Ovest.
