Climbing

The most direct access to the summit is from the valley of Galmarara, on the left hand side of the Val d'Assa. From the crossroads of the Galmarara hut (1614 m, reachable by car) the route continues via two old Austrian military roads, the Zoviellostraße (or, alternatively, the path 830) and the Kaiser Karl Straße. Just beyond the Bivio Italy (1987 m), a path leads to the summit. The climb from Val di Sella is more difficult as it begins lower down the mountain. It goes via trail 211 which, starting from the road of Dosso, goes directly to the summit through the valley of the Twelve and the valley of the Trap. Alternatively, for the trail marked 231, which is detached from the former, it is a gradual climb up the valley of the Twelve to join up with the other path near the Busa Dodese bivouac. From the summit the view sweeps over the eastern Alps, including the Brenta Dolomites, over to Pale di San Martino. The
