The route starts from the central Tourist Office and crosses the bridge over the Chisone stream in the hamlet of Souchères Hautes, near the condominium complex Il Bosco delle Fate. Just after the bridge, on the left, you take a path that runs along the Chisone stream until you reach the next bridge of La Ruà (which remains on the left). Continue towards Souchères Basses with a slight uphill path and after about 500 m, you reach a fork: to the left, you descend to the hamlet of Souchères Basses (another beautiful snowshoe hike!), while on the right you continue towards Pradamont (= meadow uphill), a vast plateau at the foot of Monte Albergian that hosts a summer alpine pasture, completely immersed in silence. The return can be made following path no. 316, creating a circular route that leads back to the La Ruà bridge over the Chisone stream and the Tourist Office in Piazza Lantelme.
From the tourist office, walk without snowshoes along viale IV Novembre towards Souchères Hautes and, after crossing the Via Sciatori bridge, turn left putting on snowshoes, if conditions allow for snowshoeing.
