Leaving Alpe Vallé behind, continue along the mule track for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. The trail alternates between dirt and asphalt sections. If you decide to wear mountaineering boots, it's best to bring a second pair of more comfortable shoes (I can't even begin to tell you how painful your feet are, haha). Alpe Balmelle is home to a few mountain huts, a dairy, and two fountains with refreshing drinking water.
