Starting from the Case Bortot parking lot, take the path to the Settimo Alpini refuge (CAI trail 501). After about 15 minutes, take the left deviation to Forcella Mompiana (CAI trail 506) and continue up to the Col Forongol saddle (elevation 961). About fifty meters further, take the right deviation (signpost) to Casera dei Pez. Continue descending slightly through the forest and shortly reach the hut (open but not supervised). Continue through the clearing in front of the hut for about fifty meters, then the path clearly turns right and continues fairly steeply through the forest with various bends descending into the Ardo valley until it reaches, through a long traverse, the path to the Settimo Alpini refuge that returns to Case Bortot.
Author’s recommendation
The summit of Col Forongol, about fifty meters from the saddle where the path passes, offers an extraordinary view of the Schiara group and the Rui Fret and Ardo valleys. (beware of leaning out)
