Description of the route
At the square near the elementary school in Issime, turn left for the hamlet of Cugna - Künju , where a well-paved mule track goes up on the left of the waterfall.
After a small votive chapel, trail n. 2 leads into the valley and continues along it as far as crossing the stream. The trail now becomes steeper and, surrounded by bushes, leads to Alpe Stolen (about 1750m) then to Alpe Mühnu (Munu) (1950m).
