Starting near the middle schools of Valdidentro, traveling for 1 km along the cycle-pedestrian path towards Bormio. Upon reaching Pedenosso, take via Dei Prati until the beginning of trail N283 which leads to Quartinel. Continue to the junction with N283.1, which ascends cutting across the slope from east to west. Pass under the cable car of the ski resort, reconnecting with trail N284 of Bosco della Motta. Travel along one of the straight sections of the ski slope, with a gentle downhill slope, until a clearing where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Crap de Scegn. From here starts a hilly path crossing the valley of the Bocciana river, which originates at the foot of Corno di San Colombano. Arriving at the meadows of Pezzel, you can admire characteristic alpine huts and a panorama ranging from the Torri di Fraele to Val Viola. Cross the meadows along trail N285.1, arriving at Pian de li Astela, where you meet the paved road connecting Isolaccia to Prescedont. Descending for a few hundred meters, on the left you find a path (N286) leading to the sports field of Isolaccia. Continue until you reach the bridge over the Scianno river and then start ascending again towards Plomp locality. From here, in the shadow of the imposing rock face of Crap de Scegn, resume the forest path. Climb about 100 m elevation to the large table overlooking the Scianno waterfall; from here starts a scenic path on rocks of varying sizes passing exactly under the waterfall. Re-entering the forest, take the climbing cliff path, which with a fun route crosses the entire base of the rock face. From here return on the paved road to the starting point.
