    Park in the Cornetti hamlet and follow the signs for the Nature Trail which, from the road, winds through the houses of the village until it cuts across the meadow behind them.

    Once on the dirt road above the village and the downhill slope, continue towards Borgata Frè. Once reached, descend to the river and cross it on the lowest bridge.

    From here follow the signs for Alpe Pian Salè/Green Lakes/Lago Paschiet.

    Once at Alpe Pian Salè, follow again the signs for the nature trail which descends to the right compared to the path leading towards the lakes.

    You then reach a plateau near the Pontat waterfalls (frozen in winter and late season).

    Then continue descending towards Frè where you have two options: return directly to the hamlet via the riverside path or, as in this route, climb back up to Alpe Tchavana.

    Returned to Borgata Frè, retrace the dirt road portion of the outward journey.

    If you want to also combine the Ibex Trail (recommended especially in early spring/late autumn), you can descend along the ski lift line until you intersect the walk that leads towards the Pian della Mussa valley. This way you arrive exactly at the start of the trail.

    Walk it all to reach the main road and then return to the car.

    In winter, snowshoeing is also possible in Val Servin.
