0h00' From Ru (1696m) we set off next to a small toilet hut with a fountain ⛲, go past the village on a dirt road to the grassy terrace of Alpe Promot (1853m).
0h30' Now continue between fir and larch trees, go past the intake of an aqueduct and, after a few bends, cross the Comba di Vertosan stream to reach Alpe Berrier (2192m). Alternatively, just before the stream, take the obvious path to a large wooden cross, just above Alpe Berrier.
