Huts

Hotel Lago di Braies, Rif. Biella (july – september).

Physical requirements

Easy walk but long and strenuous, attention in case of fog.

Panorama

Wonderful view to south of the Porta Sopra al Forno to the highlands of Senes, Group of the Bosconero, Croda Rossa, Tofane, Fanes and Group of the Odle.

Indications

From the Porta Sopra al Forno expert hikers can also reach the top of the Croda del Becco, 2810 m (1 ½ - 2 hours).

Lying on the belly and with the head above the North Wall of the Croda the Becco looking down at the lake – only for that it’s worth climbing to the top!

It is difficult to imagine the lunar landscape of Senes behind the 1000 m North -Wall of the Croda del Becco.
