The Mulattiera delle Creste starts from the large parking lot of the restaurant "La Casera" (q.1399), where you can contemplate a truly magnificent panorama.
Go up the slope, on the right the aqueduct, and continue until 1545m where there was the old ski lift (Faverghèra 2, some rest). Descend slightly towards the hut (old Malga Faverghèra with possibility of refreshment). On the right a slight climb to the panoramic balcony Faverghèra Dolomiti UNESCO (1550m). A few meters before, however, you can see a small cave, called the Giazèra of Faverghèra (q.1540), or an old deposit of dairy products.
Shortly after a few meters there is the entrance to the Botanical Garden of the Eastern Pre-Alps "Francesco Caldart". Climb along the mule track until the chairlift arrives and pass near the former Brigata Alpina Cadore refuge. After a slight descent you can see on the left the weather station ARPAV.
Continuing to the right, and crossing the ski slope Brigata Cadore, you reach the Rifugio Angelo Bristòt.
The mule track continues south, on the right you can admire the large pit called "Busa de Canp", until the junction with the path that goes up the Busa. Continue to an old and small spring destroyed in the construction of the road and to the north you notice a second large pit called "Coro Pìciol", while on the right "al Palonét", a relief that divides two large "glacial circuses".
You pass under the Col dei Gai, the view on the right of the Coro Grande or Fossa Grande, up to the fork and then the last ramp to Col Visentìn (q.1763) or follow the road to conclude with a loop.
