Follow the path [11] as far as the Radura di Mezzo (1839 m), and then continue on the labyrinth trail [20] until the junction with path [18]. Turn right on the path [18] (direction Forcella Latemar). After a steep climb, you will reach path [18A], which leads flat across a meadow. After a short ascent, you reach the Latemar meadows and the Mountain cinema Val d'Ega (1861 m), which offers a magnificent view of the Catinaccio and the Roda di Vaèl.
