Ganna is the main village in the municipality of Valganna and home to the town hall. It also has Lake Ganna and is probably best known for the imposing compound called the “Abbey of San Gemolo”, which is a monastery/abbey of immense historical and religious importance.

To get to the start of the No. 15 trail, turn off the SS 233 onto the SP 11, which you follow for about 330 yards until you reach the Abbey of San Gemolo. The “Jubilee Trail” also starts from here and winds its way through the Campo dei Fiori Regional Park.

The No. 11 trail starts from the corner of Via Sacconaghi and Via Piave (S.S. 394).

The route then climbs Via Sacconaghi and passes through an area called Vigne, which features the classic ledges or terraces that were built to manage the land. Follow the tarmacked road up the hill to the hamlet of Chignolo (which was once called Cugnolo) at 486 metres (1,595 ft) above sea level. 

The tiny picturesque village of Brinzio is nestled in a charming, alpine basin between the northern slopes of Campo dei Fiori and Monte Martica. The third stretch of the No. 10 trail, which links Brinzio to Velate, starts on the corner by Via Piave meets Via Virgilio.

Start walking along Via Virgilio which passes along the banks of the north end of the tiny Lake Brinzio after a couple of hundred yards where the Rio Brivola flows out of the lakelet.
