From Talosio we continue for around 500 m along the asphalted road that leads to the Sanctuary of Prascondù 1321 m. Around the first hairpin bend, we turn right onto the mule track that leads to the Sanctuary (45 minutes). From the Sanctuary we join the G.T.A route that here joins the Giroparco Gran Paradiso and which first passes behind the Balmot huts and then the Barlan huts 1474 m. We climb through pasture along the G.T.A./A.V.C. route, go round a turreted rocky formation (visible from below) thus arriving at the Alpe del Roc 1812 m, we continue up to the Colle Crest 2040 m. From the colle Crest (2050m) the pathway descends into the Fatinaire Valley, in Val Soana, cutting a steep and rugged slope, thickly overgrown with green alder trees; passing from one set of surroundings that lie in clear contrast with the airy, spacious green of the slope towards the Ribordone Valley. The route reaches Alpe Sionei (m 1855), a large alpine pasture with a relatively modern layout, with a cableway that was abandoned some years ago. Leaving the pasture behind us, the route follows the steep crags that descend from the summit of the Sionei and the Costa Doccia towards the Vallone di Fattinaire, reaching Combrat (m 1020) in around an hour and a half, and, nearby, Convento (m 905, fraz. di Ronco Canavese).
