The next stop is Soraga and the slope to reach Palua, where you will admire the entire Fassa Valley and the route stages you've just completed. Looking up to the sky you'll see the Catinaccio, Sassolungo, Pordoi and Monzoni mountains. 

Once the slope is over, you start going back down to Moena, the Alpine Pearl you'll be crossing to complete the track. Once here, you keep going towards Piana di Moena, Predazzo and finally... the Fiemme Valley!
