From Verda you go light uphill until Funtanacia, along the meadows at the bottom of the Gherdenacia plateau and passing from Plaön you arrive at the Sponata hut. From here you descend at the Sompunt lake and continue on the easy path in direction Paracia and Ciaminades until Pedraces.

In Pedraces you take the uphill path that goes along the state road to San Leonardo until the parish church. Behind the church you go uphill on the path with the Holy Cross stations to Oies where you will find the native house of Saint Giuseppe Freinademetz, the first Saint of the Alto Adige region. Continuing halfway up the hill along the path at the bottom of the Sas dla Crusc you pass the farmsteads of Sotrú, Craciorara and Cianins as far as La Villa.
