From the small central square in Rofrano where buses stop and there is a very little gas filling station you can make a circle around the old town providing a view down the Mingardo valley which this trail follows from here. A very steep driveway with concrete surface which might be slippery in wet whether goes down into the valley and ends at a road which alternatively can be used on longer serpentines.

The road crosses the river over a bridge, turns into a track and leads through garden properties and chestnut groves into the forest. After crossing a larger stream it follows and underground water pipe until reaching the outskirts of Alfano. The track was found in good condition and it’s an easy walk. The Mingardo river whose upper part is called Torrente Faraone is further down and not visible.

Between Alfano and the river several short marked trails can be used, dedicated to mills and other ancient remains of the village – described on different information boards. To the center of the village being a little more elevated there are several connecting footways. At an old bridge with a modern bridge beside it an asphalt road leads to the destination of this trip.
