To IV Cantoniera dello Stelvio by way of the Bochetta della Forcola (E; 4-5 hrs).
Follow the road that crosses the damn wall of Cancano and quickly brings you to the Solena chalet 1980 m.
Take the small Forcola Valley road, but leave it on the right shortly after "li Forneli" to get to the opposite side of the valley. Go up to Piani and Malga di Penedolo at 2384 m. from there turn northeast and a last part over scree brings you to Bochetta di Penedolo 2703 m, characterized by the erosion of rocks into mushroomlike forms. Go north at 2915 m of elevation and a gentle climb will take you to Bochetta di Pedenoletto 2790m. A descent of a few meters on the northern side takes you to the basin below. From there, without losing elevation, take the trail that leads northeast to the ruins of the barracks below Bochetta della Forcola. From the pass, take the trail going east keeping below the slopes of Punta di Rims. Go down a gentle path halfway down the mountainside to get to the Stelvio road near the fourth trackman,s house.
