We start our hike at the car park next to the Rif. Fondovalle mountain hut (1,460 m a.s.l.) to S. Maddalena in Casies. From there, we first walk along the forest road no. 49 into the valley and after a short walk turn right onto the "Eichhörnchenweg" (squirrel path) no. 49A. This path is moderately ascending and runs parallel to the forest road, but is more varied. It leads once through the forest, then again across meadows and the element water is our constant companion in the form of mountain streams.
After about one hour we reach the Malga Kradorfer mountain hut (1,700 m a.s.l.), where we stop for lunch. The children enjoy themselves on the large playground including a tipi. From the hut we can enjoy a wonderful view on the head of the Casies Valley and the surrounding alpine world. For the way back we choose path no. 49, which passes the Messnerhütte mountain hut and brings us back to the starting point in about 45 minutes.
