From Forni take the quite steep and winding road northwards then take path S555 to the Pizzini Refuge. From here continue up along bridleway S528 to the cable car. There is a wonderful panorama of the high mountains: to the left are the passes of the Zebru' and Cima delle Pale Rosse, opposite is the flat ridge, sometimes edged with ice, while to the right are the snowy massifs of Monte Cevedale and Pasquale. At an altitude of 2,744 m you pass the Cede'c lakes, now filled in. A steep section leads you to a rise: to the left you cross one of the streams feeding the River Cede'c and start to climb a narrow zigzag up the steep slope. You soon reach the Cevedale Pass, after which you descend to the Casati Refuge at an altitude of 3,254 m. Just above is the Guasti Refuge, used in the event of large numbers of visitors and as a winter refuge.
