Path S505 begins at the hairpin bend above the II Cantoniera roadhouse on the Stelvio Pass road and leads to the Valle dei Vitelli. After the stream, continue straight on at the junction until you reach Le Buse. On account of its sheltered nature, during the war the hollow of Le Buse was chosen for the construction of a military village defended by a complex of trenches dug into the ridge behind. Two artillery emplacements in a tunnel pointed at the Stelvio Pass road and the Valle dei Vitelli, preventing possible attacks by the Austrians. From Le Buse traverse the slopes of the Glandadura to Pian Pecci, leave the trail on the right that goes down to I Cantoniera and continue until the Passo del Crap dell'Aquila with its panoramic views, from which a track between the pines brings you go down to the Stelvio road near Palone.
