ModerateThe route starts from the hamlet Voga of Menarola and climbs steeply passing through Alpe Dardano (1334 m a.s.l.) and then Alpe Buglio (1554 m a.s.l.). From Alpe Buglio the path continues to the left keeping on the slope; it continues with a slight incline crossing a sparse larch forest. A deviation to the left leads to Alpe Forcola (1838 m) where the namesake bivouac and a beautiful panorama are located. The bivouac is always open, unattended, and maintenance is regularly carried out by the Pro Loco of Menarola. There are 12 equipped beds, a stove with a wood kitchen, and a bathroom with running water.
From here it is possible to continue the ascent towards Forcola Pass or towards Val Capra (high route).
It is possible to return to Dardano/Voga passing by Alpe Cima.
