We did the first day of the famous "13-summit-trip" from Casati hut to Cevedale, Pallon della Mare and finally Monte Vioz. As in 2003 most of the snow on the glaciers had already melted and where it remained it was dangerous because the bridges over the crevasses wer not stable enough. We slept at Mantova di Vioz hut (very recommendable) and climbed the minor summit of Monte Vioz (3631m) the other day before descending on Forno glacier to Branca hut. Very impressive glacier landscape - among the finest of the Eastern Alps!

Done many times! from the village of Pejo it is almost 2000 meters of altitude difference. To the peak in 3.45 h. A great training for high mountain climbing.

I was 12th years in Val di Sole fro 21 days of holiday with my parents in Ortisè (Pellizzano-Mezzana) We took the cable car ride to Rifugio Doss dei Cembri and we started our ascent. Good weather, but some clouds to the top.
Route Climbed: Doss dei Cembri - Rifugio Mantovia - Vioz Date Climbed: Aug 27th 2003
Very easy climb but very crowded as it was one of the last days of the italian holiday season. Lots of families with kids but most made it to the top. From up there you have a perfect view of the Ortler/Cevedale- Adamello/Presanella- and Brenta Groups. As it was rather hot you could see and hear the glaciers crumbling before your eyes.

You take the first cable car from Pejo. So you get o the base of Mt. Vioz. Then it's a nice walk throug rocks to the summit. You need a good condition, because you walk about 1300m high.
