There are three trails to Alp la Schera: One starting at parking lot P4 / bus stop "Punt la Drossa" next to the entrance to the tunnel to Livigno, Italy, one starting at parking lot P5 or P6 / bus stop "Il Fuorn" near the hotel Il Fuorn and one starting at parking lot P9 / bus stop "Buffalora". If you use the bus, any combination of these trails make up a nice trip without the need of going back the same way.
From Alp la Schera, you might want to climb up to Munt la Schera (elevation 2586 meter or 8484 feet above sea) to enjoy a great panorama.
Note: We strongly discourage to walk on the Pas dal Fuorn road, it is a small road with a lot of traffic and there is no room for pedestrians !
