From the square of the Church of Christ the King, we set out on the uphill path in the direction of the Ravoledo field and Cemetery, immediately facing a steep but short climb. At the end, we continue for a centian meters on the carriage road to take path N254 on our left. Arriving at the fork along the carriage road (900 m or so), we take the steep cart-track that shortly leads to the scenic hump of Grom (938 m). It continues with four hairpin bends, the result of the widening of the pre-existing mule track, up one of the unfortunately numerous burned areas on this slope. The old, narrower military track replaces the dirt road and, to the right, cuts across the steep slope, suggestive despite the marks left by fire, to an obvious fork. Continue to the left, where the mule track narrows further and, at times cluttered with debris, climbs the steep slope in narrow turns between lodgepole pines and firs. Faced with an old landslide, which the mule track climbed up in more hairpin bends, one is forced to continue to the right, crossing it, following a track that, threaded at the foot of a whitish rock, reaches the edge of a deep gorge. Staying on the edge of the impluvium, one soon reaches a pleasant isolated hut (1338 m), overlooked by dense woods among which large rock shields emerge. Great care must now be taken: from the hut, level to the left, take a small path through the woods (just upstream you will notice a tub for collecting water) that with some slight ups and downs leads back to the landslide at a point where a retaining wall can be identified. The mule track, now recognizable, obliques to the left the entire body of the landslide and, past a felled larch tree, becomes comfortable and obvious again. The incredible trail now traverses the cliffs almost level, sometimes carved into the hard gneiss, sometimes supported by cyclopean drystone walls. Several charred logs from the recent fire bar the pass but, before you can get impatient, a few hairpin bends leave this area to access a scenic hump (1480 m) overlooking the Grosina Valley and grazed by the dirt road to Menarolo. Continue to the right, alongside a boulder, and soon cross the dirt road again, following it toward the group of huts above (1535 m). Just before the cottages you turn right again, finding the military mule track, which climbs with quiet bends among the skeletons of large pines. Moving gradually to the right, the track comes out onto a large pasture. The mule track contours the pasture on the right, but it is convenient to abandon it and proceed over the meadows for their entire development, to find it again near the highest nucleus of huts (1825 m). Leaving a dirt road on the right, follow the mule track upstream of the alpine pasture, immediately entering the woods. If at first the walk hindered by vegetation, it gets better after a few hundred meters. Several hairpin bends on a modest slope lead to an area where the tall vegetation begins to lower and thin out. When you reach a modest shelf, you leave the mule track to the right, which continues wide and almost flat toward Dos Pesciol, and continue upward, taking advantage of a path that stays roughly along the now well-defined watershed. Reaching a slight basin with an antenna, from where there are excellent views of the Grosina Valley, we begin to notice the first war works: trenches, emplacements and tunnels dug into the rock. The main ridge now rises decidedly rockier, and the trail avoids it on the right. Thus we come to the base of a long grassy slope, visibly etched by the trail, up which we face the broad southwestern slope of Monte Storile, characterized by recondite coniferous forests and large pastures upward. Along to the right, with a few ups and downs alternating with short climbs, you slip out at the foot of the dark rocks of the ridge, bringing you to the base of a grassy valley. The slender, rather deteriorated trail zigzags up this slope (at least two paint marks bearing the number ''1'' are recognizable on the left) to end at the entrenchments of the summit of Monte Storile (2471 m), which during the '15-'18 War was supposed to form the defensive ''Third Line'' of the Alta Valtellina sector if the Austro-Hungarian army broke through at Stelvio.
