Cima Branca

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, always beaten track on the left of the Frodolfo stream, until you reach a small plateau from where you can see the refuge above on the left. Continue following a small road, always beaten, that with three hairpin bends leads near the small Rosole lake and and shortly to the overhanging Branca refuge, reached by the small road that climbs first to the left (normally this stretch is always well traced for the supply of the refuge itself). One now climbs in a northeast direction entering Val Ro'sole gradually bringing oneself to the right of the evident line of the median moraine. You skirt it to its end and then turn sharply to the left in a westerly direction across the entire plateau. You now ascend more or less to the center of the amphitheater, and then bend to the left in the last section, shortly reaching the wide rounded summit. Variant from the Branca hut: From just above the Branca hut bend slightly to the left of the obvious median moraine line and go to join the previous route just before the final steepest section.
