From Bormio, follow the Sentiero Viola to Semogo, then reach San Carlo via Via Le Ponti. From here, climb by following the forest road through the Breitina woods, reaching the Decauville. Enter the Valle del Foscagno, continuing to Pian dell'Acqua, then first to the locality of Tresenda, then to Angelina, and finally to Passo del Foscagno. From the customs house starts the descent leading to Pila, and after a beautiful path among larches, you enter Val Trela. The climb to the pass is almost always gentle except for a few steep stretches. Back in Valdidentro, descend towards Malga Trela and then climb back to the homonymous Bocchette; the view of Val Vezzola and Cima Piazzi is priceless. Descend in altitude on a fun single track, in some stretches a bit technical. Having completed the last stretch of Val Vezzola, upon reaching the huts, cross the reservoir and complete the circuit along the single track immersed in the woods. After descending from Valle di Foscagno, return to the Decauville, covering it for a few km. From the locality Plator, quickly reach Sant'Antonio and then Pedenosso. The way back to Bormio from here is short.
