From the Foresteria parking lot, cross the stream and follow the dirt road that climbs the valley bottom up to the "Gorjo Trounno" mill (visit possible), near the Piccolo Passet village. Then take the paved road that ends at the village of Balziglia (1,370 m), the last at the valley head, divided in two by the Germanasca di Massello stream. Here there is a Historical Museum dedicated to the heroic resistance of the Waldensians besieged by the French army in 1689-1690.
Cross the bridge and then continue to climb on the dirt road keeping to the left. At about 2,000 m, face a short descent reaching the Bergeria del Ghinivert (1,950 m). The return follows the uphill road.
It is possible to make a variant for the return by taking the TOS200 trail that climbs to the Colletto di Salza and then descends to the village of Missiera and then to Didiero (Salza di Pinerolo), but in some stretches it is necessary to carry the bike by hand.

The hamlet of Balziglia was the scene of a heroic resistance in the years 1689-1690 by the Waldensians, besieged on the mountain behind the village, called "Castle", by the French army that vainly tried to massacre them after their return to the valleys following the Glorious Return. To commemorate this important episode and the entire story of the Waldensians, the Balziglia Historical Museum was erected in the village.
Above Balziglia is the majestic Pis waterfall, of remarkable scenic beauty and a true symbol of the village. The waterfall, on the trail leading to the Albergian pass, is at about 2,000 m elevation, occupies the center of the valley and is clearly visible after less than an hour's walk.
