Approach


From Santa Canterina Valfurva (Valtellina - Italy) you go by car to to Gavia pass (30 minutes, open only in summer).

From Ponte di Legno (Italy) to Gavia (45 minutes, open only in summer).

Look here the MAP.

Route Description


From Gavia Pass, to "friendship bridge". Here turn left and walk until Bivacco Seveso. When you are under the bivouac you have two possibilities:

go up to bivouac and climb the mountain by the ridge

stay under the ridge on the glacier (better) and do a step to lead the peak.

Essential Gear


Ice axe crampons and rope.

BE CAREFULL, the ski route is on the opposite side of the mountain!
