    The route starts from the square in front of the Kursaal in Sauris di Sotto and continues east; after passing the last houses, there is a climb to some mountain huts near a karst-type sinkhole. Staying at altitude, inside the forest, you can see on the left a characteristic rocky hollow: the Bélinlouch, or the Bélin's cave, an unpleasant female character who, according to legend, imposed a strange toll on anyone leaving Sauris for the first time (de must pussn in orsch in der Bélin). Upon reaching the bed of a stream, you follow it uphill to the left until you find a drop near a very smooth rock about 3 m high; you bypass it heading north until you reach the locality Straitar. After an hour and a half from the start you finally encounter the dirt road that returns to Sauris di Sotto, while the right continues along the 2A route.
