From the notice board of the car park of the Selleries Refuge, follow trail 337 in the direction of Monte Orsiera, Lake Ciardonnet, Colle del Sabbione.

The track reaches a plateau with the junction, to the left, for the Bergerie del Ciardonnet and Monte Orsiera (336A). Our itinerary continues to the right and, after a flat section, climbs towards the valley suspended over the rio of Malanotte and runs along it for a long stretch.

Instead of going towards the head of the valley, where Colle di Malanotte is located, climb left (north) along the maximum slope, to the vast plateau of Colle Del Sabbione (2569 m), from where the Susa Valley and the imposing pyramid of the Rocciamel​one appear.

From here, take trail 510 that, fairly steep, descends along numerous hairpin bends to the Bergerie del Balmerotto (2107 m), goes beyond the junctions with the trails for Alpe Aciano and for Porta del Chiot and reaches the Toesca Refuge, on Pian del Roc.

The Selleries Refuge is reachable from regional road SR 23 del Sestriere, taking the junction of provincial road SP 172 in the hamlet of Depot and then (after approx. 7.7 km) the unpaved intermunicipal road which winds from Prà Catinat for 7.5 km. A large car park is present and a rest area with picnic tables.
