From here go to Rive; via dirt road you reach Villanova Monferrato then continue towards Motta dei Conti on an asphalted road; then take a dirt road along the Sesia river bank. Return for a short stretch on the state road and then resume along the embankment near the confluence between the Po and Sesia. After a short stretch take the embankment along river Po until reaching Casale. From there go through Casale Popolo on asphalt; then take a dirt road that takes you to Balzola and from there along a dirt road until reaching Trino Vercellese.
