The begin of the descent of the Tour of Monte Tamaro takes you back to the Capanna Tamaro where you take the path which leads down to Alpe Duragno to reach the alpine pasture, where you can admire cows and goats in a wonderful alpine habitat. You can return to Alpe Foppa along a relatively flat path that runs alongside the mountain.
