Alternatively, you can reach Bivacco Senza Confini with the Austria & Italia route, the Austria, Slovenia, and Italia routes. From Bivacco Senza Confini (1,319 m, unstaffed), a path (path no. 522) - which later joins a forest road - leads slightly downhill through the forest. Keeping left at the first forest road fork, you reach a fountain and then, keeping right through forest and alpine meadows, you get to the Chapel Madonna della Neve (1,275 m).
Return by the known path to the fountain. Then turn right and take the forest road slightly uphill to Madonna del Monte Coppa (1,305 m). Continue briefly on the forest road. At the next right turn, take the left path that leads through the forest back to Bivacco Senza Confini.
