"Passo Forca Rossa", or simply "Forca Rossa", was considered a very important strategic point during World War I. On the first day of the war the Alpine Regiment "Val Cordevole" occupied it, so as to have a complete control over the area. The great importance of this pass emerges clearly when considering that it is the main means of communications between Malga Ciapela and "Passo San Pellegrino". The walk starts from Malga Ciapela and goes in the direction of "Campin", across "Pian Grant" ; park the car at the bridge that crosses "Ru Scalon". From here onwards you will follow the military bridle track for "Rifugio Falier"; after a few hair pin bends you will get to a road fork and here will turn left. A slow climb along some bends will eventually get you to the beautiful "Valle di Franzedas", on it's left-hand side there is a "malga" (alpine hut that functions as a dairy and houses the herdsman). A steep foot path goes up the valley. Right in front of you, high above, it is possible to get a glimpse of "Forca Rossa" wedged between "Col Becher" (2444 m) and "Piz Le Crane" (2760 m).The left hand side of the valley is closed in by the "Auta" mountain range. Having walked up the grassy basin, you will leave the foot path n. 689 that leads to "Passo di Col Becher" and will continue on the track n. 694 which in a short time will get you to "Forca Rossa" on a wide bridle track.
