Just past the church (9.1km) a little bench offers a place for a rest and snack. About 20mins later the road turns to gravel and just afterward you come to an abandoned chapel on the right. Here you cross a bridge and just afterward on the left is the trailhead for the forested path to Consuma, signed ‘Consuma 1.45.’ Turn left and follow the gravel path, CAI 11, uphill, looking continually for the red/white painted waymarks of the official trail.

In 700m is an important and unmarked fork: two broad paths branch off, one toward the right among fir trees, the other to the left among deciduous trees. Turn left, and in 20m see a red/white CAI marker that confirms you’re going the right way. Soon the path starts uphill and in 700m a CAI 11 marker tells you to turn left at a T-junction.

In just 500m you come to a meadow that is bisected by a two-track gravel road. There are no markings here, but turn left on the gravel road. The road goes uphill and in 50m turns to concrete. In 200m at a triple fork, turn right at another unmarked intersection. In just 20m you seen a CAI marker on a dead fir tree to the right. In 300m you come to another intersection, this time marked with ample signs. Go left and uphill, continuing to follow CAI 11.
