The tour starts from the parking area near the Church of San Giacomo di Fraele at Cancano in Valdidentro and follows path N199. You soon reach Passo di Fraele, the watershed between the basin of the Adda and the SpolInnDanube rivers. The trail descends for about 1 km, arriving at a fork. Take the lefthand path through the Val Bruna, crossing a bridge and then descending the valley to Grasso di Pra' Grata. This is one of the most spectacular spots in the area, both for its solitude and its morphology a vast valley floor of calcareous pebbles that recall the Apennines, with the steep almost forgotten cliffs of Piz Murtarol and the node of the Cassa del Ferro. Further along path N182 you soon arrive at Ponte del Gallo. This area forms part of the Stelvio National Park and it is not uncommon to see grazing deer.
