Start from the Col de Tascusi car park, next to the Madonna delle Nevi restaurant: do not park in the restaurant car park, which is reserved for customers, but in the one slightly further down the hill.
(S/E) Walk up the road past the restaurant and follow the picnic tables on the left.
(1) Leave the road and take the dirt track marked by a broken red and white sign. You’ll soon reach a junction.
(2) Carry on straight ahead until you reach a viewpoint overlooking the lake.
(3) Turn right at the hairpin bend and continue uphill to the ridge path, which is not very well defined.
(4) Pass the metal structure at Bruncu Sa Ruge/Monte Iscudu and carry on along the path.
(5) Look out for the start of the alternative return route on the right and head straight on to the mast.
(6) Return to the ridge path (a few yellow and orange markings) as far as the cross.
(7) Turn back.
(5) Turn left towards the forest: this section is unmarked. Then follow the edge of the forest down the contour lines until you reach an entrance to the undergrowth.
(8) Turn right to follow the narrow path until it joins a forest track at a hairpin bend. Follow the track, turning left.
(9) Pass a small spring and continue along the forest track until you reach a junction with an electricity pylon.
(10) Take the path leading down to the right and return to the starting point.
(2) Turn left and head straight back to the car park (S/E).
