The walk begins from the parking area by the church of Migiana di Monte Tezio (P).
Take the gravel road that goes slightly downwards past the tiny village cemetery (sent. 472) and soon takes you to the fence surrounding the Fontenova farm.
Continue the slight descent without paying attention to the various deviations off to the right. At a certain point there is a barrier across the road to prevent cars from entering. Go under (or over) it and after a long steep descent it levels out.
You will pass the remains of the Vallecupa (Dark Valley) farm, its name evoking the fascinating wildness of the area, and, further on, that which remains of the Pié di Monte (Foot of the Mountain) farm.
The thick forest is mysterious and now and again you can see bits of the wild surrounding countryside with its amazing colours. After about an hour of walking you will reach Casale Pavia, a tall well-restored building and, after a few meters take the red/white CAI signposted trail (sent 481) which begins to take you up on a steep gradient which then becomes less steep.
Follow it through the high beech and oak trees for about a half an hour until you reach the high open fields on the top of Monte Tezio.
Not far off on your right you will see the Pantano cliff. Continue upwards over the humps of the mountain keeping on the left trail which, the high grass notwithstanding, is easy to identify. In about a half hour you will reach the Croce della Pieve (the Cross of the Parish Church). On a clear day the views from this recommended rest spot are magnificent: to the west, after the last hills of Perugia on the left, you can see Monte Malbe and, behind it, Trasimeno Lake, and the Cetona and Amiata mountains in distant Tuscany.
Continuing with your eyes towards the right you will see the hills of Monte Rigone which cover the Catenaria Alps and the Luna Alps, and then the pointy top of Monte Acuto, behind which in the distance the Apennine range comes into view with the Simone and Simoncello mountains, Monte Nerone, Catria and Cucco, the mountains of Gualdo Tadino, Monte Pennino and Assisi’s Mt. Subasio behind which the Sibillini mountain peaks stick majestically into the sky. The true top of Monte Tezio hides the last marvels to behold.
Back on the trail go over the humps towards the south to get to this summit and enjoy them. Once here, turn left along a service road that takes you to Tezino (sent. 487). When you are almost in the dip take a sharp left downwards through the woods until you reach the next open space from where you will see Monte Acuto (with its pointy top), Antognolla and Monte Corona NW. Follow the path through the woods with the electrical cables overhead for a few dozen meters, and then continue on it as it takes you through bits of woods and open spaces until you get to an old water trough. Continue downwards until you reach the remains of Castel Procoio. Keeping to your right the path becomes more level and then goes down steeply to the right until you reach the first houses of Migiana. Climb over the chain and turn left along the gravel road which, among the old houses, leads you back to your car by the church
