to the right you will reach a mule track and at some stage
it will fork off. The path on the right will bring you

section of the route leads along a path named Viel del
Plan, which was used by caravans for the transportation
of goods between the Isarco and the Agordino Valleys,
because the basin was covered in thick forests and was
therefore seen as less safe and not passable. This path
is also known under the name Bindelweg or Bindersteig
At Pordoi take path C.A.I. n. 601 to the left of the Casa
