The route is linear and climbs from Vilanova to the vicinity of the Pena Trevinca summit. The route begins as a wide dirt track that forks after just 700 metres. To the left, it follows the main route (PR-G 198) towards Mount Maluro. To the right, it follows the variant route PR-G 198.1 towards the mines known as the "mines of the Germans".

The route and its variant connect in Poula de Campo Raso. From this point, the ascent becomes more alpine. The route passes through Lombo do Rocín, a place with a steep ridge, until it reaches the heights of Sestil Alto and A Valigota. At the end of the route, at the division between the valleys of the Xares and Tera rivers, you will find the summit of Pena Trevinca on your right.

You can return the way you came, via the variant route or via the other, connected trails.
