Today, it is worth getting up early. The morning mood at the Refuge de Prati is one of a kind, when the sun slowly pushes up the horizon and dispels the chill of the night. After such a wonderful start to the day, the first meters of altitude on the Punta della Cappella almost run by themselves.Then you hike downhill for the next four kilometers - before you leave a few vertical meters behind you. The ascent to the Monte Formicula has it all again, but here you will be rewarded with a fantastic view.Another two kilometers relaxed downhill, then you have mastered today's hiking stage. At the Refuge d'Usciolu you can look forward to a hearty meal, exchange views with other hikers and stock up on the essentials in the shop.
