You'll start your journey from the church in Carvanno, where you can park near the church of Carvanno, a hamlet of Vobarno in Degagna. The CAI trail 496 begins with a steep concrete road that becomes a natural track leading to Passo dell'Ora near a restored mountain hut. As you climb higher, the path becomes a proper mountain trail with beautiful views of Monte Spino, the Marmere peaks, and Forametto, with distant glimpses of Lake Garda and the Sirmione peninsula.
