From Ponte delle Capre, the loop climbs towards Rizza and crosses Casarotti di Sotto and di Sopra. It reaches Manfron and Mondonovo before descending through Val di Sagno back to the bridge. Small settlements and woodland reveal a quieter side of the valley.
Pro Loco gives 7.2 km, 2 hours 15 minutes and 300 m ascent for the complete loop. These figures belong to route 11, rather than the nearby Geological and Mineralogical Trail, which has a different course and measurements.
The initial climb has an average gradient of 8% according to the source; the descent after Manfron has uneven ground. Wear hiking footwear. This ground description is not a CAI grade. We recommend dry, snow-free conditions, checked before departure.

Stories along the way
At the start, Ponte delle Capre recalls centuries of crossings over the Leogra. Borgo Racconta records restoration completed in 2024 and the legends painted on its shrine, including goats tricking the devil. These are folk tales. The nearby Geological and Mineralogical Trail follows a different route from the Mondonovo loop.
