Description
From the Forno hut, follow the white-red and later white-blue markings eastwards to the Sella dell Forno, from where you can enjoy the great view of the Val Malenco. Here the path branches off to the northeast and then follows the south ridge on the summit route northwards. The passage through the rocks was equipped with new steel chains in 2015. The panorama from the spacious summit is magnificent, especially the view of the north face of Monte Disgrazia.
Hidden Gem
Overnight stay at the Capanna del Forno
Safety Note
Marking white-blue-white, good mountaineering experience is required.
The rock band is crossed by a gully with easy climbing (Grade II). Snowfields may be encountered near the summit; an ice axe may be necessary.

Directions
From the southern corner of the Forno hut, first follow the white-red-white markings to the Sella del Forno and then continue following the white-blue-white markings towards the Passo del Muretto until they reach the south ridge of the mountain. Here the summit route branches off, staying west of the ridge - the markings guide easily to the summit ascent. The steep passage through the rock gully is equipped with new, solid steel chains and soon leads to the gentler summit slopes and over them to the summit. The descent is made on the same route.
