From the centre of Santa Caterina, near the tourist office, take path S571.1 steeply uphill through the forest until you reach the cart track from Tovo. Take a right, pass through the Valle dell'Ables and come to Nanza and Ceisa di Sopra. You climb gradually up to Monich. After some 50 more metres of steep climbing the trail flattens out to reach the mountain huts at Ables, with spectacular panoramas of the valley and surrounding mountains, where you can stop and rest. The descent then begins: at I Marz continue straight on along path S573 to Rossaniga, Gemel, and Blotana and, finally, the village of Santa Caterina Valfurva.
