From the Forni, one leads to the vicinity of the small artificial barrage. Following the signs to the right for the Branca refuge, first pass a small bridge over the Cedec stream and then continue along the bottom of the valley, following a nice track always beaten on the left of the Frodolfo stream, until you reach a small plateau from where you can see the refuge above on the left. This area can also be reached by passing at the beginning of the route at the base of the small dam and skirting the Frodolfo stream on the right. You now go to the right passing a small bridge, or a little further on, with good snowfall, you can easily cross the stream. From here, to the right, start climbing following a few small bumps and vallecula in a southerly direction and continue along the narrow Isola Persa gully. At its end, bend slightly to the right and then climb a steeper section to reach the western plateau of the Forni glacier. You now climb in a westerly direction, arriving near the lowest point of the northeast ridge that descends from Pizzo Tresero. You skirt it broadly to the left until you pass, again to the left along a steep section a wide serac area, thus arriving on the ridge descending from Punta Pedranzini. You follow the thin southeast ridge and briefly reach the summit where you are greeted not only by a large cross but also by an immense and infinite panorama.
