Description

You head towards the S.Bernardino mineral water plant. At the end of the road, you cross the stream via a footbridge. You climb into the Bosch di Pescion along the path up to 1780m. From this point, you leave the path and continue along the ridge that leads us into Val Vignun following the summer path. Always following the summer path, you continue the ascent up to Motta de Caslasc which overlooks Pian Grand. If you want to climb to the summit (2300m) you must go via the northeast side.

To descend, you turn east until you reach the watercourse. You continue through Pian Grand entering a small valley. You descend the valley following the stream to 2140m. Then you exit Val Vignun to start the real descent. First, you go down westwards until you reach the summer path that leads to the water reservoir located just above the Bosch di Sciuch. From there you descend towards Acuforta to reach the small oratory and immediately after the parish church. Nearby is the bus stop and the parking lot.
