From the Ghiacciaio dei Forni Hotel take paths S528 and S555 up through an unspoilt forest of Swiss pine, one of the finest in the Stelvio National Park. Above the Baite dei Forni the trail levels off and heads west on a service road to the mountain huts of Pradaccio di Sopra. Continue along path S527, passing the Baite di Raseit, until you reach the Baite dell'Ables where you can take a break. The path winds through meadows, with excellent views over Valfurva and the Valle dei Forni, dominated by the magnificent pyramid of Monte Tresero. You might spot some of the magnificent golden eagles that frequent the area. From the Baite dell'Ables begin the descent on path S571.1, passing the mountain huts at Monich, Bacero and Li Nanza and back to Santa Caterina.
