From Chiunzi we'll follow a path going slightly up, which gradually goes from concrete to forest and will eventually lead to the area called Tuoro between chestnuts trees and ferns. After few hundreds of meters along the crest of the mountain we'll pass the Calavricito hill on the east side to get to the feet of the Scalandrone. From here the road of the final part gets steep until the top of the Mount Cerreto but once got to the top the amazing view on the Vesuvius will make you forget the fatigue.
