The hike starts at the Pederü mountain inn (with a bus stop and parking facilities), where you first turn left and ascend very steeply in switchbacks along the military road. There are several opportunities to shortcut the ascent by crossing the road. You quickly gain elevation, and the terrain becomes flatter. At a trail junction, it is recommended to turn left toward the Sennes Hut, creating a circular route. (Alternatively, you can continue directly to the alpine village of Fodara Vedla.) The trail first leads upward via steps and then continues along a wide hiking path that winds through the Sennes area, passing through dwarf pine groves and forests. As you gain altitude, the forest thins out, and the panoramic views become increasingly impressive. Those who wish to extend the hike can continue from the Sennes Hut to the small or large Col de Lasta summit (+ approx. 5 km and 200 meters of elevation gain). At another trail junction, follow the signs to the right toward Fodara Vedla. A narrow trail leads over roots and stones to the idyllically located alpine village. For the return to the parking area, first follow the forest road, which ascends again until it joins the military road you hiked up at the beginning of the route.
