The loop is 1.7 km long, with 180 m of ascent. The CAI grades it T (tourist).

The route of trail 104 in Smerillo

The trail starts just below the village, near a viewpoint, and descends right away: in two hundred meters it drops about 65 m, to 720 m. A nearly level section follows, then a gradual climb: at km 0.8 the trail passes a drinking water point, and between km 0.4 and km 0.8 it coincides with stage 14 of the Cammino dei Cappuccini.

The last section climbs more steeply, about 35 m in two hundred meters, to a second viewpoint and the center of Smerillo, next to the Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo in Smerillo.
