Ascent:
From Cusato, 660 m, we start walking towards Corna Trentapassi, all the time staying on the right side of the creek (looking up). Good asphalted path brings us in 35 min to Cascina Coloreto alpine meadow, 900 m. There we turn left and following the marks in some 15 min reach Forcellino del Zuf, 1050 m. There we turn right and in many switchbacks continue towards the Eastern Foresummit. It can be also detoured by the southern side and then only the last 60 m of summit ascent are awaiting us.
Descent:
Till Forcellino del Zuf we return by the same route. Then we continue in the same direction - by the SE ridge. It gets narrow and also rocky, on a few places some additional care is needed. Soon we reach the place where on the ridge there's a memorial to a young girl. From there the path goes mostly by the ridge which slowly turns into the southern direction. So we reach the broad summit of Dosso Tonto, 1070 m. The next summit, Monte Vignole, has the same altitude and is also not difficult to reach. From there we continue by the main ridge. The narrow is at first narrow, but descending quite gently, then it drops down very steeply. That section is more demanding, requiring a safe step. So we reach Forcellino del Gadöl, where we turn left. In a few long switchbacks we descend eastwards, then the marked path starts turning a bit left, crossing the slopes of Monte Vignole and bringing us directly in the upper part of Cusato village.
