With three of my friends we plan to climb Monte Disgrazia from the south, via Cresta Corna Rossa next weekend (our tour will take place from 19th October to 23rd October).
I couldn't find reliable information whether Rifugio Desio is open or not, or if it has a winter room. Maybe should we try Rifugio Ponti instead? Is there a path to the Cresta Corna Rossa from Rif Ponti? What is the highest elevation reachable by car?
Information about roads (both from Ciappanico and Preda Rossa) would be also appreciated. Will these roads be open by that time?
Any hints and suggestions are appreciated.
