Path description:
From the upper cable car station on Sass de Pordoi, we head on the path in the direction of the mountain hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi. The wide and quite visited path starts to descend noticeably and after approximately 15 minutes of walking brings us to the mentioned mountain hut, where a path from the pass Passo Pordoi joins from the right.
From the hut, we continue straight in the direction of the summit Piz Boe and hut Piz Boe (right downwards pass Passo Pordoi).
Further, we walk on a wide path towards the east, to the right (on the south side) above us are the peaks Sass de Forcia Occidentale and Sass de Forcia di Mezzo. When we come between both mentioned peaks, we will notice on the right a not too steep scree slope. Here we leave the wide marked path and ascend the mentioned scree slope, which leads towards a smaller saddle between both peaks.
On the saddle, we continue to the right and on undemanding terrain soon reach the peak.
