Signposts indicating the trail to Albagno are located at the cable car end station in Mornera. The trail first climbs westward through the woods, then heads northwest. The trail passes by the Pian di Nar pond, then continues higher through the pine woods until emerging into a clearing. The trail continues along the ridge into the Gorduno Valley to reach the UTOE Albagno Hut at 1,864 m a.s.l.
At this point the Monte Gaggio Peak with the large cross is easily visible, at 2,267 m a.s.l., and can be reached by a well-marked trail.
