NY 156 begins in the hamlet of Berne at NY 443, the Helderberg Trail. Known in this stretch as Berne-Altamont Road, much of it is narrow and winding, passing through the hamlet of Knox. Heading northeastly, it meets NY 157, providing access to Thompson's Lake and Thacher Park. It then begins a descent of the Helderberg Mountains, winding downward as the speed limit drops and the route enters the village of Altamont.

In Altamont, NY 156 misses NY 146 by one block with signs directing motorists to the other route. NY 156 turns eastward in the village, passing by an entrance to the Altamont Fairgrounds. Now on more level terrain, NY 156 heads southeasterly, assuming the name "Altamont-Voorheesville Road", eventually ending at NY 85A in Voorheesville near the high school.
