From the Bridge in the Sky in Campo Tartano (1,030 m), in the province of Sondrio, we walk the Sentiero dei Ponti, a loop trail that will take us back to the village of the footbridge that was inaugurated in September 2018 and is attracting so many visitors.

After paying the toll on the bridge (cost 5 euros, valid for multiple passes throughout the day; free for children and young people up to middle school) we reach from the opposite end the Frasnino Maggengo. Beyond the bivouac of the same name, at the height of a hut we follow trail marker 163 to Püstarèsc and Pizzo della Pruna, precisely the Sentiero dei Ponti.

Still onroute 163 we cross the Fopp maggengo and, back in the spruce forest, climb to Punt dèla Pescia, a small wooden bridge. Above us are the Baite di Püstarèsc (1,367 m). Beyond Val dul Bögn we are at an unmarked fork, where we take the right-hand path. At a new bifurcation we follow the red-and-white trail marking the most marked passage and we are between the Foppe huts, keeping the red and white markers as a reference.

We meet the fork of trail 163 and proceed left, downhill for three quarters of an hour to the Corna and, with another 15 minutes, to the bridge of the same name. It is made of wood, supported by steel ropes. On the opposite side the path climbs through the trees. We reach the Valle Tartano provincial road 11 and, along the carriage road, return to Campo Tartano. Here we are at the Vicima Bridge, over the valley of the same name. We continue on the road that touches a farm, near the hamlet of Cosaggio.

Just beyond we pass to the right of the hamlet Furfulera. We are now at the end of the loop: we meet the last bridge, that of la Pisaferia. A little further on, at Campo Tartano, is our destination.
