This is an easy, but multifaceted and picturesque tour. From the small village of Spruga, one of the last inhabited hamlets in the Onsernone valley, you ascend past some other hamlets where you can study the characteristic architecture of the area and discover the rural life. Through a sparse forest and always on a ridge you reach Alpe di Pesced and its huge stable. Here the forest is followed by wide, open slopes, which lead to a knoll and finally a ridge. On the ridge with a magnificent view one reaches the Munzelüm summit.
