stretch of road after the Ghedina
Refuge. (This permit can be obtained on site from an automatic
ticket machine and in 2000 it cost Itl 5,000 (€ 2.58) for the day. In

which climbs up the Vallon valley to the Busa Fonda hollow; from here the

Busa di Vallon Superiore hollow and then the Vallon Pass. From here the
route passes the Dodici Apostoli hanging glaciers to join path 341 which

declared a nature reserve. Its existence is indicated here but hikers are
requested to use this path only in emergencies.
