The starting point is from the Rifugio dei Forni 2180 m on the dirt road to Rifugio Pizzini sign Way n. 555, which turns northeast onto two steep switchbacks. On the first straight stretch outside the wood we find a diversion indicating the right direction of our itinerary n. 527 sign with indication Baite Ables, Confinale, Caval laro 2320 m. You turn decisively westward on an almost flat dirt road, pass over Predaccio mountain huts sign with the first indication of the Way n. 527, and cross Val Manzina on a bridge.
