  • The path leads past a small marshy watercourse into which springs flow
  • In the southeast corner of the Champlönch meadow, the path turns left towards Il Fuorn
  • The path leads through a small furrow between woods rising on both sides, which bears the local name Badachül
  • The path then zigzags steadily downhill to the bridge over the Ova da Val Ftur
  • Now follows a slight counter-ascension through the God sur il Fuorn to the meadow Plan Posa
