A 21 km stage that does not present particular technical difficulties but requires adequate training due to its length. The route starts near Rifugio Forni and ends at the Fantelle Parking lot in Madonna dei Monti. Initially, you take the dirt road towards Rifugio Branca and at the fork turn towards Malga dei Forni; continue towards the Girella bridge until reaching the dirt road leading to Rifugio Pizzini. A charming landscape and the whistling of marmots will accompany you. We descend for a short stretch on the paved road and then take the mostly flat S257 trail to the right, which crosses the Confinale mountain passing through the small settlements of Raseit, Ablés, and Malga Confinale. The route continues to the Ables mountains, where you can stop at the homonymous farmhouse, the Confinale mountain farm, and finally reach the Cavallaro huts. Upon arrival here, after a wide panoramic view of the Bormio basin, the descent begins to the entrance of Val Zebrù, then concluding the stage at the Fantelle parking lot, in the Madonna dei Monti hamlet.
