Excellent vantage point over the Solda Valley and the Cedec Valley including the famous 13 Peaks. Has as an excellent foothold the Casati hut located just below the summit. Superb direct descent on the southern slope with spring firn.
From Forni follow the comfortable mule track that initially climbs two steep switchbacks, then towards the right becomes flatter and, having bypassed the ridge that leads into Val Cedec, continues halfway up and reaches the Pizzini refuge. A trail is always present but in any case the path is very easy and evident. Now continue in a northeast direction until almost to the start of the cable car that leads to the Casati refuge, and just before it veers to the right in an easterly direction, continuing to the right for a few hundred meters and then climbing into the first evident gully on the left. As soon as it softens turn left going to the steep ridge where the last part of the summer trail to the refuge climbs reaching the Cevedale pass where nearby is the Casati refuge at an altitude of 3254 m. From here northward along the ridge, then over a wider bump to the summit.
