From the car park Fontanelle we walk past Maso Colér and the ristorante Al Fontanin where we continue on the forest road to malga Stablasolo at 1,540 m a.s.l. (with refreshment area). Immediately after the mountain hut, we arrive at the crossroads to the Cascate di Saènt. We cross a bridge and ascend on the eastern part of the valley. There, we take the sentiero delle cascate along which numerous waterfalls can be admired.
At the end of the itinerary we cross a bridge and reach the rest area "Dos de la Cros". We follow signpost no. 106 through a valley characterised by meadows, larch trees and the rock walls of the Cima Sternai. Here we find the small malga Pra de Saènt. At the beginning of the Scalinata dei Larici Monumentali which takes us to the secular larch trees, we return to the starting point by taking path no. 106.
