With this short but steep stage, the Sentiero Italia leaves the majestic peaks of the upper Valmalenco to move among the summits overlooking directly the Valtellina, continuing the journey eastward. From the Rifugio Cristina, you say goodbye to the last glacier in the area descending from the summit of Pizzo Scalino, from which it takes its name, which is circumnavigated throughout the day. A first climb leads to the Passo degli Ometti followed by a descent and ascent to the Passo Forame. From here, you descend to the Rifugio Cederna Maffina in the valley carved by the Fontana stream, a direct tributary of the Adda.
