From Forni Forni follow the easy mule track that initially climbs two steep switchbacks; then to the right it becomes flatter and, having bypassed the ridge that leads into Val Cedec, continue halfway up until it reaches the Pizzini refuge. A trail is always present, but in any case the path is very simple and evident. Now continue north, without an obligatory path, in the direction of the evident rocky island at the base of the southern wall of Gran Zebru' and contour around it passing it on the left, thus entering the Gran Zebru' vedretta. At the base of the imposing south face of Gran Zebru' you bend to the left going in the logical direction of the Colle delle Pale Rosse placed at 3363m altitude. When you reach the final section you deviate slightly to the right, arriving shortly at the col.
