Pizzo d`Era

As is the case in spring, we carry the skis the first few hundred meters from the pass road in Acquacalda down to Pian Segno. At the first snowfields it starts, through sparse larch forests and leisurely ascending, there is still enough air for conversations. We leave the Toroi di sotto to the left and immediately afterwards we finish chatting.  We are on a steep upswing and mount the crampons. In the following hollow of Foppe dei Toroi we relax again and soon the snow edge appears at the end of the valley.  We have to go up there - not always without problems when the last piece is icy. Once at the top, we are first rewarded with an impressive view of the spring-green Leventina. A fascinating contrast. Almost easy peasy we now strive over a snowed-in, with guards, ridge to the summit. We face the Coci, a little further away we are greeted by the Rheinwaldhorn and the Campo Tenca, the most striking peaks of the panorama.

The descent runs along the ascent track! Shouting is allowed!

Psst.... Don't tell anyone. Insider tip.

From Aqcuacalda we descend to Pian Segno, we cross the stream and ascend towards Stabbio Vecchio. We reach a valley, Laraset, follow the hollow up to an altitude of 2100 meters. We overcome a short steep slope in a southerly direction and reach a valley, which we follow to its end. On the snow ridge at the end of the valley we keep left over the ridge to the summit.
