This is a long stage involving substantial altitude differences. It can be divided into two parts, spending one night at Rima. From Carcoforo, the trail climbs to the Termo pass and then goes down significantly to Rima. There is a second long climb to the Mud pass, and nearby is the Ferioli hut.
Detailed route description
From Carcoforo follow the track to the right of the Trasinera stream to the fork with GTA trail 112, which leads to Alpe Trasinera Bella and Alpe Termo, and on to the Termo pass. From here the trail is steep and winding, through pastures and woods, all the way to Rima. A bridleway from Rima leads gently to the Mud pass and, in a further 10 minutes, to the Ferioli hut. Along the way there are a number of natural springs.
