Stage of the 8 valleys trail.
The route :
The beginning of the path is located at the southern entrance of the town, on the left, just before the bridge over the Roya (marker 1). Continue to marker 2, follow the GR 510 through the place called Banco. At marker 117, the path changes direction completely, heading north-northwest through Viravourgio. It is necessary to go through the depths of the Riou valley. The goal to be reached near the hamlet of Piène Haute can be seen to the south at 1.5 km as the crow flies.
A track will soon replace the path. After crossing the hamlet of Mattegna, the path meets an oratory and reaches a pass dominated by the chapel of the Madonna. Continue to the hamlet of Piène Haute.
Suggestion:
You have the possibility to continue this hike with the one from Piène Haute to Sospel (sheet 18) and a possible return to Breil by train.
