Path description:
From the Rifugio Pederü, turn left onto the dirt road, where you will be directed by signs for the hut. The road, which is closed to traffic, starts to climb very steeply in the keys and beautiful views of the surrounding peaks begin to open up. The road becomes a shade less steep and passes mainly through the forest. After a good half an hour's walk from the starting point, the road leads to a marked crossroads.
Straight ahead the road leads to the Fodara hut, and we continue to the left following the signs 'Rif. Sennes Hütte". At the crossroads, descend slightly and cross the stream. The path is quite gentle for a while and then turns left and ascends steep slopes to the north-west. Higher up, the path turns right and soon joins the road from the Fodara hut.
The road continues to climb gently, and slowly the views begin to open up. The forest along the road is replaced by dwarf pines and the footpath from the Fodara hut joins from the right.
The road becomes a little more level and soon you reach a crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards the Rifugio Ra Stua and Rifugio Biella huts. We continue left at the crossroads and it is only a short walk along a sloping road to the Rifugio Sennes hut.
From the hut, continue on the dirt road following the signs "Munt de Sennes". Instead of the road, you can also follow the footpath that runs to the left of the road under the slopes of the Col de Lasta. The road starts to climb from the hut and leads to a marked crossroads where a path branches off to the right towards hut Rifugio Biella (Seekofelhütte).

We continue along the road, which becomes more level and quickly leads us to another crossroads. This time, the path branches off to the right towards the Forcela de Riciogogn and Ju de Senes. Continue along the road, then a footpath joins from the left and there is only a short descent to the Munt de Sennes hut.
