Continuing straight it is possible to reach the Bocchetta di Forcola, where the first Italian line during the Great War was located, turning right along the path N146.1 instead leads to the Bocchetta di Pedenolo. The path continues downhill along numerous hairpin bends to the Piano di Pedenolo and the homonymous malga. Here, a wide view of the pyramid of Monte Sumbraida. The mule track continues descending along the rocky wall with numerous well-built hairpin bends and traverses until returning to the fork with the Forcola Valley.
