From Sant'Antonio di Scianno, follow trail N196 to Alpe Gattonino. Here, take a right onto a cattle-track that climbs the meadowy coast and penetrates the Cadangola Valley, until you reach Alpe Vezzola, at the beginning of the plateau of the same name. This is a characteristic plateau with some partly restored huts and surrounded by summits such as Mount Trela and Dosso Rosaccio. From here you follow the mule track on the left, toward the water intake, and after about 15 minutes continue on path N 196.1, which enters the forest (there is a sign indicating Foscagno). After a little more than 2 km, the trail leaves the charming forest and a striking viewpoint appears in front of it; a little further on, take the mule track that climbs until it reaches the first Foscagno pond at an elevation of 2,250 m. Crossing the state road you find the main lake and nearby the other smaller lakes.
