Route
Before reaching the Gera hut, turn right and follow path n.152 to the start of the "ferrata". The first section is quite easy, then difficulty increases – but the path is well-equipped. After reaching Forcella Tacco, get ready for the descent! In the first section, metal ropes will assist you. Subsequently, follow a mountain track leading to the foot of the rocks, where another track takes to Casera Aiarnola. Now, head north-east, through the wood: you will get to a clearing from where you'll easily get to Padola.
