For the Baths it is best to follow a water course, and then run down into the level meadows which extend for a mile above the mineral source. This route is very direct, free from difficulty, and, though long, not too laborious, involving only one re-ascent of about 1,000 ft. The latter part of it is of course equally available for mountaineers cross ing from the Suldenthal to Rabbi, as Monte Cevedale can
