This trail begins at Case Becco in the municipality of Sori, on the road from Uscio towards Monte Fasce. You can reach it by private vehicle, with convenient parking available.
Start from the parking area and spot a small cluster of houses (Case Becco) and a chapel with direction signs. Turn right onto the trail marked by
and
. It gently ascends through rustic buildings and after about 200 meters, you reach the slopes of Monte Uccellato, offering a stunning coastal view. Continue right on a slightly steeper but manageable ascent to the summit of Monte Uccellato (828 meters), where the panorama becomes even more breathtaking.
The ridge trail offers a magnificent view, especially vibrant in spring with blooming heather, broom, wild orchids, and daffodils. Reach Monte Possuolo (791 meters) and then a lower peak with an antenna, leading to the road below near a parking area at "Bocchin di Pozzuolo".
At the bend, cross the road to take the descending path marked by
ISC and ISC1 (the Historical Colombian Itinerary and its variant). This pleasant flat walk leads you to the visible ruins of the ancient Hospitalis di San Giacomo, built in the 1200s for pilgrims and travelers between Fontanabuona and Genoa, restored in 2016 by volunteers.
Continue without issues back to Case Becco. This time, turn left onto the trail marked with

, which follows the mountain's coast to Colle del Bado. This is a junction for paths leading to Monte Croce di Fo, S. Alberto di Bargagli, and the ascent to Monte Bado.
Follow the path to the right, soon reaching a rest area with wooden tables, benches, and a gazebo for shelter. From here, the trail to Pannesi, known as the "sentiero della fienagione", also begins.
Our route takes the trail marked by
, a short but steep and demanding section leading quickly to Monte Bado's summit at 911 meters. The view is spectacular, stretching from the Gulf of Tigullio to the Gulf of Paradiso, Genoa, and the Ligurian Ponente, with surrounding peaks and inland areas.
Continue along the ridge, gradually descending to the summit of Monte Becco (794 meters). Here, you might see wild horses roaming freely. Begin the descent, which can be tricky due to slippery and steep sections, but manageable with care. Soon, you're back at Case Becco, completing this loop between Sori and Lumarzo, skirting Bargagli and Pieve Ligure.
