From Malghera, reach the Sacco cabin (N253). Descend into the valley floor and after crossing the bridge over the Roasco stream, continue to the Mandri Vegi cabin at 2063m (N201). From here, the road gives way to a path that, turning right, climbs the steep shady slope before reaching the plateau where Pian del Lago lies, turning NE. (Time: 1h 30 min) From here, the path is easy to lose. Continue eastward on flat ground and then ascending, leave the small lake to the south and enter the small grassy valley that leads to the base of a steep scree slope. After climbing, traverse a stony valley which, by going left to bypass a rocky bar, leads to the Sacco Pass.
