You leave the car near the Gaggio basin at about 1,050 meters where the municipal road section, which is kept clear of snow, ends. You can go up along the driveway following signs for Le Piane first, then Legno Marcio, or, if snow cover allows, take the path on the right leading to loc. Burnich. From there, continue to the last houses of the Burnich mountain village up to the top of the meadows, then continue on the summer trail. Near loc. Dosso del Sole, you cross the agro-silvo-pastoral road leading to Corne, then continue on the trail, passing a gate restricting traffic. Once you reach the agro-silvo-pastoral road leading to Legno Marcio, you can't go wrong. You reach the huts and then continue along the mule track to Alpe Pessa; usually, this route is well marked and visible although it is the only one in the area, so it is quite evident. Upon reaching the snowy pastures of Alpe Pessa, proceed with turns to the left, first on the pasture then through the forest which gradually becomes sparser until reaching the destination of our excursion: Doss Bilii. From here the view stretches from Cima della Pessa to Pizzo Rodes. The classic descent route goes through the woods and leads to the Alpini Refuge in loc Le Piane, from where you descend along the road back to Gaggio. Route without difficulties to be done only with good snow conditions.
