CHARACTERISTICS:
The itinerary, with a difference in height of over 1000 m, leads to the Forcella Risumiela. The saddle is open to the south and is on the ridge that goes up to Mount Clapsavon. Most of the itinerary is in a woody area, whereas in its last part it is on open ground. Good visibility over the Dolomiti d'Oltrepiave. For those who use snowshoes it is advisable to stop at the Casera Tragonia hut (1760 m).
From the town of Forni di Sopra follow the summer forest trail no. 208, which with hairpin bends goes up northwards. Go east around the Pic di Siela until reaching a clearing where you will see the Casera Tragonia hut at 1760 metres of height. From here, proceed eastwards up a steeper and steeper slope on open ground, reaching the col. Go back to Forni di Sopra along the same route.
