Surrounded by woodland, the trail reveals the remains of ancient artillery positions built as part of the Northern Frontier, providing a glimpse into the military history of these mountains.

The route also leads to wilder and more secluded spots, such as the Valvassera Waterfalls, hidden deep in the valley and accessible via a short section along the river during periods of low water flow.
