From the hut’s flagpole n.26 picks its way through the rocks SSE. Across open terrain where both rock ptarmigan nest and marmots burrow, you drop to lovely Lago di Fosses (2162m, 45min), which looks inviting for a refreshing dip in the shade of the artistic layers of the Remeda Rossa. The lakes here formed among layers of peat on top of a waterproof clay base, which prevents the water disappearing underground.

Once past the far end of the lake, signposts point you SE for a brief rise and saddle that provides access to a desolate side valley at the foot of impressive Piccola Croda Rossa (E). A further lake, Lago di Remeda Rossa, is usually dried up. Shortly, the clear path cuts down diagonally R (S) into a lovely flowered basin, which leads into dwarf mountain pines and a rough, tiring descent over loose rocks. You eventually emerge on the jeep track at Campo Croce (1772m, 1hr 15min), which leads to Rifugio Ra Stua (1668m, 20min).
