The route, suitable for everyone, develops near the settlement of Andreis and allows you to visit three significant places in this territory: the Park's bird area, with its injured birds of prey; the San Daniele chapel, a panoramic viewpoint over the entire valley; the valley of the Susaibes stream, a geosite of regional interest.
From the village square, follow the signs to the bird area, located at the edge of the settlement, where some injured birds of prey can be observed. Next to the aviaries, the trail (marked by an arrow) gently climbs a hill. In the first stretch, you can see the settlement of Andreis, surrounded by meadows (partly terraced), which were once fields and gardens cultivated by its inhabitants. After reaching the top of the hill, the trail follows the ridge crossing a mixed forest where beech, hornbeam, and manna ash are present. Some areas once used for mowing and haymaking are now occupied by hazel. At the end of one of these, the trail meets a staircase; continue uphill, and in a few minutes, you reach the San Daniele chapel (the highest point of the route). From the chapel, the view extends over the entire valley dominated to the northeast by the summit of Monte Raut. Descend the whole staircase and continue on a dirt road to a junction (marked by an arrow). Turn left onto a path leading to the hamlet of Sottanzas. Here, near a panel with information on the geosite, take a small path that goes down to the bed of the Susaibes stream. The environment is very evocative, with a landscape dominated by rocky elements. You can observe widespread erosion phenomena on extremely fractured and faulted rocks due to the presence of a regional interest overthrust. Returning to Sottanzas and following the asphalt road downhill, you reach the main road. Turn right, uphill, toward Andreis and after a few meters, take the cycle path on the left that leads to the Cordata locality (abandoned houses). Continuing, you reach a final junction where, taking a right, you climb a short staircase to the square of Andreis.
