Description of the route
From Valnontey village until the second wooden bridge just after Prà-su-Piaz mountain pasture, the itinerary develops from the left to the right bank of Valnontey stream. From there continue on the right bank and after passing the small Vermiana village and the fork for Alpe Money mountain pasture, reach the Erfaulet bridge, from where you can enjoy a superb view on Tribolazione and Gran Crou glaciers. On the right bank after the bridge you can find the clear waters of Erfaulet springs. The first section until the bridge after Prà-su-Pià mountain pasture can be easily done with strollers.
