Details

Description

From the Rifugio Forno you reach the Sella del Forno (2769m) to the east and then climb up the south-western slope of the south ridge (initially quite steep) via p. 2944 to the summit structure. Below the summit rocks, at a noticeable big stone, you make the ski depot.
A few metres further east, you will come across massive steel chains that make the climb through the rocks much easier. In case of icing - or if the chains are snow covered - the ascent on foot is challenging. Finally, an elegant firn edge leads to the highest point (3213m).

Downhill: Either on the ascent route or from the ski depot over wonderful slopes directly to the south-west - finally through a couloir - down into the valley between Monte del Forno and Monte Rosso.

Geheimtipp

For those who wish to spend a night in the mountains, the Capanna Forno, open to skiers from the beginning of March, offers accommodation and meals.

Ausrüstung

Equipment can be hired from the local sports shop "Giacometti Sport, Maloja".
