Start from parking area P8 Al Vach and follow a flat stretch of bridleway, path N101, until the Che'seira dal Vach. From here, take the righthand trail into Val Ne'ira through a forest dominated by the Crosc da Val Ne'ira. The waterfall of Val Ne'ira, the confluence of the Vale'ta stream and the Val Ne'ira stream, is very impressive. Staying on the righthand side, the Vale'ta appears ahead and the trail is first easy, then more difficult up to the alpine lakes of Lach dala Vale'ta and then Boche'ta dala Vale'ta at 2,672 m above sea level. From here the trail is scarcely marked and rocky: it becomes more challenging and requires surefootedness, and you may prefer to be accompanied by an Alpine Guide as you walk along the ridge that marks the watershed between Italy and Switzerland, then on to the 'eternal ice' of the Paradisin glacier.
