Main route:
From the Hotel Trenker, cross the road and the river and then take hiking trail no. 1 to Lake Braies. Continue along the western shore to the south side of the lake, follow the signpost Seekofelhütte/Rifugio Biella over the large stone and gravel field, then through the forest and along the rock to the Nabigen Loch, where you continue to ascend on the opposite side. Partly secured over smooth rocks with rope, up to a flat area. Continue between the rock faces through the so-called Ofenscharte/Porta sora 'l Forn (2388 m). There is a small devotional chapel there. From here it is only a short descent to the Seekofelhütte/Rifugio Biella (2327 m).
Tip for hiking experts and summiteers:
Challenging - from the Ofenscharte/Porta sora l’Forn you can reach the summit of the Seekofel/Croda del Becco (2810 m) over partly smooth, but rope-secured rocks.
