The route begins at the foot of the Arale Alp.

One must pass a tunnel and the houses of Pila where the asphalt ends, leave one's car and before a bridge, where there is a sign indicating Rifugio Il Pirata and Rifugio Beniamino continue on foot.

Here you have two options:

1 - Park your car, at the edge of the road, take a small road with a concrete bottom that climbs to the left skirting a tributary of the Tartano, cross a dirt road and, almost level, go right crossing the stream on a bridge that has iron banks painted gray.
There is a wooden notice board on the right, continue along a small wall topped by a fence, and after a bend to the left you reach the Baite di Arale where we first arrive at the Rifugio Il Pirata and, a few meters further on, at the Rifugio Beniamino.

2 - Alternatively, at the bridge you can go straight on for another 200 meters, leave the car at the side of the road, and take a path surrounded by two rows of stones, by which you ascend through a meadow to the alpine pasture where you quickly reach Rifugio Il Pirata and, a few meters further on, Rifugio Beniamino.
