The two hour walk begins by heading south from the top of the Pralongá chairlift - in the district of Planac - on trail nr. 3/A through the meadow, to the Inzija pass. From the pass we go down to the left, still on trail nr. 3/A, then up and to the right on the southeast part of the Marentas ridge until you reach the lush meadows of the Sela de Forceles. We carry on through pastures and open forests and reach the Cherz hut.
The return journey goes northwards, on path n. 26, slightly downhill. First we go through the meadows then through a pine forest until we reach the golf course and finally our starting point, Planac.
The top station of the Pralongá chairlift can also be reached on foot from Planac in about 1 hour and 15 minutes, on trails no. 24 and no. 25.
