After the forcella, you descend towards the Passo di Valles, past alpine meadows and a picturesque landscape. At the Valle Pass, you continue your tour and follow a narrow, alpine path to Forcella Venegia. There, a wide, high valley opens up in front of you with a view of the Pala mountains. 

The descent takes you to Val Venegia, where a steeper section follows a quiet alpine pasture. Via winding roads, you reach the Segantini hut, with a view of the peaks of the Pala mountains. From there, you keep on hiking, past the Cervino hut, to the Rolle Pass, where your tour ends.
