    A secondary summit located between Creta Forata and the saddle of the same name, it is one of the few peaks reachable by hikers who only have a little experience. It has a rocky spire summit beneath which extends a wide predominantly grassy ridge that represents the smaller northern peak, which falls away to the underlying valley with a large and steep cliff. To the west there is a high and bold vertical rock-face.

    The suggestion deserves consideration because, although a modest peak in altitude and not particularly attractive in its shape (except the western side) and a bit closed in by the massive structures of Creta Forata and the Piccolo Siera, it does have the pleasant surprise of the very broad and unexpected panorama that opens towards the Dolomites of the val Pesarina, Coglians, the Volaia mountains, the Peralba-Chiadènis-Avanza group, the Bivera-Tudaio and even the distant Dolomites beyond the river Piave. The itinerary is, wrongly, very little used due to the presence of the nearby Creta Forata. It is sunny, varied, not tiring and will guide you into another delightful, secluded corner of the mountains of Sappada, in a kingdom of silence and solitude, with the possibility, if you’re lucky, of even seeing some chamois. You’ll also savour a little taste of adventure as the last part of the route has neither a path nor markings.
