From the center of Macugnaga, cross the Anza stream and take the dirt road on the right bank that passes through Ronco hamlet and leads to Isella. From here, take the so-called “Sled Path” which leads to the beautiful knoll of Motta and then to Quarazza and to Lake delle Fate (1309 m). From the dam, continuing along a comfortable road between larches and firs, you reach the locality "Crocette", better known as "Dead City" which houses evidence of the ancient gold working (1460 m). Then go through a coniferous forest and meet the crossroads with the path that climbs to the right for the Colletto del Pizzo Nero (B39); continue straight on a slight slope to the bridge over Stream Quarazza near "Prà di Lanti". Pass on the opposite side of the valley, and, once leaving Alpe Piana on the left (1613 m), begin the long climb on the military mule track built in the late 1920s which with a series of hairpin turns leads to Alpe Schena (2005 m). Then on a gentler slope you reach Emiliano Lanti bivouac (to the right of the path) to resume the ascent towards Colle del Turlo (2738 m), historic link between Macugnaga and Alagna located between Corno Piglimò in the south and Corni di Faller in the north. Begin to descend on the Valsesian side, shortly reaching lakes del Turlo. The mule track then continues to descend with wide hairpin bends and, passing not far from Alpe Grafenboden, leads to Alpe Faller (1984 m) at which you meet the junction with the path 207c which on the left leads to Colle Piglimò. Keep to the right instead and reach Alpe Mittlentheil di Qua(1943 m) where you find the 207d path that climbs to the right to Alpe Testanera and the Barba-Ferrero Refuge at Alpe Vigne. Continue on the military with wide bends and, leaving the junction of the route 207e on the right, heading for Alpe Kegno, arrive at the junction that descends to the right (207f) to Alpe Fum Bitz, the Park House and the Pastore Refuge at Alpe Pile. After crossing the Sesia, you reach soon the refuge at an altitude of 1575 m.
