This is a long stretch, but doable. If you prefer to break the day into two, stay at the Rifugio Alpe del Lago, more or less halfway.
From the posto tappa, go up to the top of town and left, the way you arrived. After 150m take the path on the right to Alpe Cunetta di Sotto and di Sopra. Later Bocchetta di Sciavellu will also appear on the signs. From the bocchetta, descend to the lake (don't take the level path, which ends up going to the peak). Follow the lake shore and cross the stream at the mouth of the lake. From there a short descent and traverse takes you across a first ridge.
Path leads to Bivacco del Lago, from where you continue straight on between the houses. The path soon starts going up and then traverses (to the right) before a final steep ascent to the ridge, from where you can already see the Rifugio del Lago. Follow the path to the left and down the upper valley to the Rifugio Alpe del Lago (about 30 minutes).
From the Rifugio, cross the fields in front and then follow the trail through the forest down, passing by a few summer farms (Alpe). You enter Molini di Calasca close to a chapel and then go up to the main road, and turn right for the last 200m or so to Locanda del Tiglio.
