Approach

M.Greco and the Normal route...
Pay attention to the fog. From Aremogna (1622 mt) direct to south toward the Vallone delle Gravare. Climb following the ski way. If the seat-lift is in operation it is possible to save around 40 minutes of walk. After a last, steep, slant yuo reach the Sella delle Gravare (1991 mt). It is entered, so, the Vallone Antone Rotondo. At the bottom of the valley you see the east slope of M.Greco.
In few minutes the Stazzo Antone Rotondo is reached.
You cross the lowland, climbing and going down the backs of old moraine. So you reach the bottom of M.Greco

Route Description

The north crest is reached . The inclination is reduced. (2143 mt)
At this point, overgone 100 plain metres , it is possible to follow the slope north, steep and delicate if frozen.
Or, to go toward the Valley Pistacchia and to climb an easy slope.
