Details

Description

From Roticcio along the forest roads to Nambrun. Then northwest in the area of the summer path past Alp Furcela to the left (westward) into Val Furcela and uphill to the plain below the Bocchetta da la Furcela. Now heading west (summer path) and with little loss of altitude into Val da Cam. Shortly southwards keeping left over a slightly developed ramp into a saddle on the north ridge immediately south. Over the initially broad ridge finally on foot to the summit.


Descent along the ascent route.

Hidden Gem

Due to wildlife protection, the forest road between Roticcio and Nambrun must not be left.


If you feel unsure, we recommend making an appointment with a mountain guide.

  • Be aware of possible weather changes.

  • Never ride alone! Watch out for each other and be ready to react!
