Graded from its length and climb.

Recorrido lineal entre el Hoyo y el pueblo de Foncea que discurre por el antiguo camino del Escalerón, que comunicaba el núcleo urbano con las zonas más elevadas de los montes de Foncea. Encajado entre roquedos y matorrales, donde domina el boj, el sendero permite atajas hasta el sendero de La Laguna.
