From Chiesa in Valmalenco we reach Primolo, a hamlet located just above at an altitude of 1274 meters, we can leave the car in the parking lot of the sports field.

From here we follow the dirt road going towards the forest, ignoring the first signs for Alpe Pradaccio we come out shortly after at a large lay-by with several signposts.

To reach our destination we follow the signpost to Alpe Pradaccio on the right, thus taking trail 318.Through larch forests and past a stream, the trail takes us to the plain where Alpe Pradaccio, 1725 meters, rises, not without challenging slopes.

After a short flat section past the huts, we return to climb steeply on the right flank crossing a sassaia. After about another hour of ascent, always accompanied by the horizontal markers and vertical signs that identify the trail, we are in sight of the first of the Sassersa ponds, which appear as we bypass the small mouth. At this point we have already exceeded 2000 meters in elevation: the lower Sassersa pond is at an elevation of 2368 meters, the middle pond is at an elevation of 2391 meters, and the upper pond is at 2400 meters. 3 alpine basins with deep blue waters, in which the peaks of the surrounding mountains including Rachele Peak are reflected.

The route has a really steep section and an elevation gain of about 1,000 m

Those who are particularly well trained and want to continue can reach the Ventina Pass and return from Alpe Ventina and then to Chiareggio. This route is part of the second stage of the Alta Via della Valmalenco.

In addition along the return route, about at an elevation of 2200 meters, it is possible to deviate to the left to go and see the Black Lake which is located under Mount Braccia. Also beautiful is this small lake. There, following the white markings, there is a trail that allows you to arrive expeditiously to join the path made uphill and then return to the Primolo pine forest.
