Go down via Clef and soon turn left, following directions for the Bosco gentile path. The path does not present technical difficulties and offers suggestive panoramic views of Valtellina and the Rhaetian Alps.

Along the itinerary you'll come across a few panels made by the pupils of the Aprica primary school, with useful tips on how to enjoy an excursion in the mountains. Upon reaching "Corna Alta", as you pass the last mountain lodges, descend towards the starting point of the ring.
