    Leave the car in the small square of Reggetto (962m , Vedeseta hamlet) and take the road climbing by the beautiful fountain with washing basin ( signposts for paths: 150, 152 and  Madonna della Cima).
    After around hundred meters you get a low, old concrete trough that incorporates a  boundary stone (called "Termenù") carved with the inscription: "1760 S.M."(meaning “year 1760 State of Milan”)  Here there is the crossroad of the paths: 150 on the right, 152 on the left (see the signs on the trough). Turn left and after around 50 meters, leave the dirt road to follow 152 path on the right. It climbs first in the woods and then borders a meadow; going ahead the path climbs on a ridge with small clearings. Many trails cross the 152 path but following the red and white signs you don’t lose the right direction.  
    Reached a higher altitude, the path slightly bends right on the slope of Pizzino, then heads straight the Zuccone Mount top.
    Go ahead on the path, now heading westward to turn around the top of Corno Zuccone. At a crossroads a red-white-red arrow addresses right (to "Madonna delle Cime, Cima Zuccone, South Slope").
    Follow the arrow and exit the woods in front of Corno Zuccone.
    The path now climbs steeply with a couple of slightly exposed steps requiring a bit of attention.
    In short get the top: the path follows towards the visible Madonna delle Cime chapel placed on top of a rock.
    We are on top of Corno Zuccone (M. 1458), even if it is “the lowest mountain of Taleggio Valley" offers a great view of the valley and the surrounding peaks.

    1) 50 m on the left of the old trough the beginning of the trail, you can see the beautiful Torre degli Alpini, an old bird-hunting hut with an unusual circular base, now restored.
    2) The graceful Madonna delle Cime Chapel on the top of “Corno Zuccone” was built with steel sheets collected after the bombing of Dalmine factory at the end of the Second World War.
