Take the northbound route towards Fiames - Cimabanche.

Immediately after Verocai, while still in the village, turn left on the local road to Ponte Corona.

After another bridge, turn right along a trail and crossing the meadows of Convento, you reach Campo di Sotto.

You climb a steep road (at first surfaced) towards Croda da Lago. In the district Ria del Zandeaco turn right up a trail. The ascent to Cason del Macaron is very challenging.

You will eventually reach the road for Passo Giau near the Pezie de Paru cattle stable and restaurant. By turning right, a 1.5 km rise takes you to a T junction at Pocòl, where you turn right, down 200 m and, behind the Hotel Argentina, sharp left.

A steep descent takes you quickly to the district of Lacedel on the main road.

Turn left and sail down into town and your departure area.
