From the Pizzini refuge, take trail S529 towards the Zebru' pass, an easily walkable path along which you can admire the majestic Gran Zebru' and the trenches from the First World War. From the pass begins a steep and panoramic descent. After the first stretch, the slope becomes gentler and you reach a fork. The walk continues on trail S5291.1, halfway up, along the scree at the foot of Cima Miniera, until a new crossroads. Here begins a steady ascent that leads to the Quinto Alpini Refuge, where there is a spectacular view of the entire valley. From the refuge begins the descent, which, for the first stretch, coincides with the route taken uphill and then continues on trail S516 until reaching the Pastore Hut. From here, the descent becomes easier along the drivable road S529 of Val Zebru', passes the Campo refuge, and finally arrives at the Niblogo parking lot.
