Our tour starts, like many times, from the square in front of the Locanda di Isasca.
Go up to the Isasca collection skirting the statue of the Madonna, for about 2.50 km and once you reach the top, take the "dear”Dirt ascent on the right until you reach it, after about 50 meters, to a small clearing.

From here you take the only path available, on the left, which runs on the ridge alongside the hills near the beautiful Isasca. Continue on the aforementioned road, ignoring the intersections on the street, with the foresight of keep left at the first intersection, until you come to a triple crossroads. From here it is necessary to take the steep central road (obviously the steeper one ;-)), a single track that leads, after about 200 meters, to the beautiful clearing of Bric Trefin from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and Isasca.

After a short pause to catch my breath, it comes down from the small single track, which leads to the so-called "Piliun dla Culetta” (Pylon of the Collar for non-Piedmontese).
Small digression, facing the aforementioned Single Track, we met a group of Mountain Bikers, named GS2 with which we laughed and joked. I take this opportunity to remind a member of the GS2 who owes us a million euros for the lost bet.

Once you reach the pylon turn along the fun descent on the left, thanks to which the soil of Isasca is abandoned and we reach Brondello... as long as you don't risk diving into the ravine like the writer did!!! At the end of the path is the village known as "Nadin house”. Leave the dirt road and descend towards Brondello until, on the right, there is the sign indicating the turning point for the Torre di Brondello. Go up the dirt road, almost flat except for a short distance, and you reach the beautiful tower, at the foot of which a contemplative break is a must.

From here you go down a strait, but fun, Single Track leading to the Church of Brondello and its beautiful Romanesque bridge. Once you have crossed that bridge, proceed uphill along the paved road to return to the beautiful Isasca and to the starting point, after a lap of approx 17 km.
