Start from Rifugio dei Forni 2180 m taking the dirt road that goes towards Rifugio Pizzini, trail no. 555, which immediately makes two steep hairpin turns and heads northeast. On the first straight stretch outside the woods we find a junction indicating the right direction of our itinerary no. 527 signpost with indication Baite dell'Ables, Confinale, Cavallaro 2320 m. Turn decisively westwards always on almost flat dirt road, pass above the Baite Pradaccio with the first indication of trail no. 527 and cross the Val Manzina on a bridge. From here comes the trail that is the only short section difficult for pedaling. Then you reach the beautiful Baite dell'Ables 2240 m, from where the descent starts along trail no. 571.1 passing through Ceisa di Sotto. You can also descend via the longer route no. 573. Also noteworthy is the possibility of crossing at altitude the section from Baite dell'Ables to Baite Confinale trail no. 527 and then descend to S. Caterina Valfurva on trail no. 568, total variant length 10 km, or even descend to Baite Cavallaro and reach S. Antonio Valfurva.
