Route with a rather challenging section suitable for those with good mountain confidence. Leave Eita (1703 m) following the asphalt road that leads to Grosio for about 500 m until you reach a crossroads where a dirt road starts on the right that climbs along the Val d'Avedo passing through the locality of Stabine (1721 m). After a good sloping section you reach Alpe Vermolera (1927 m) continue along the trail that climbs to the Tres Lakes (2192 m). After passing the lakes at a fork in the road, marked with trail marker tables, turn left continuing on a path with a less obvious site, marked by trail marker flags, that climbs passing near Lake Venus (2408 m). This begins the section that requires some extra attention and a minimum of dexterity. The environment becomes high mountain; continue, still following the trail marker flags, first on steep scree then, after a small gully traversed by the trail with narrow switchbacks, among large boulders to Vermolera Pass (2732 m). You descend into Val di Sacco among trails marked by trail markers, first on mounds then on scree, to reach the pastures passing in the locality of Pian del Lago (2316 m), skirting a small alpine lake you continue to descend following a convenient marked trail. When you reach the valley floor, descend until you cross the bridge over the Sacco torrent (1990 m), near the alpine hut of the same name charged by the local valley dwellers, and then arrive at the characteristic locality of Malghera (1964 m).
