The first stage of Bormio 360 crosses a landscape dominated by the sound of water in all its forms. From the Pravasivo parking lot, you follow the path above the foresteria of the Stelvio National Park until you reach state road 38 of the Stelvio, and from here you continue walking along the state road until the entrance to Boscopiano (an alternative path, full of excitement, is already planned in the gorge of the Adda river source that will avoid the state road, but it will still take a couple of years for completion). An uphill segment along a carriage road N184 leads to Rifugio Solena passing by the Malga di Boscopiano and Alpe Solena. Here, a small church dedicated to Sant'Erasmo, built by A2A in 1934, commemorates workers who died during the construction of the Val Fraele dams and the large A2A hydroelectric plants in Valtellina. The route continues crossing the dam and Lake Scale until reaching the Torri di Fraele. Along this stage, there are several rest points to enjoy typical Valtellina dishes: Ristoro Solena, Ristoro Monte Scale, and Chalet Villa Valania.
