From Bosco Gurin climb up following the path which cuts the mountain pasture track up to the 1907 meters of the Grossalp Hut. From here the path climbs steeply up to the Guriner Furggu (2323 m), Passo di Bosco in italian from which the view sweeps over the wide pastures of the Bosco Gurin valley. Then start to cross the Italian side with a first steep downhill section and then cross a basin in the middle of the coast and go up slightly to the evident collar of the Passo della Foglia, which overlooks the large valley that descends to Alpe Foglia and to Foppiano. From the pass, the path descends steeply on a steep slope, crosses a first stream and after a stretch within a sparse wood, a second ford is tackled. From here continue the descent keeping on the right hydrographic side and following the sparse trail signs in the pastures you will arrive at Alpe Stivello (1609 m). At this point follow the mule track with hairpin bends which turns right to the hamlet of Fondovalle. From here to Ponte, follow the G00 trail signs "Via dello Sbrinz" for a long walk on the valley floor.
