Hiking
It is not the highest peak of the Apuan Alps and yet it is climbed by many who try their hand at the ascent along the normal route which is a sort of mountaineer's baptism, although it is not excessively difficult it does have some challenging passages.

Hiking
The mountain represents the watershed between the upper valley of the Serchio (Garfagnana) and that of the Magra (Lunigiana) and delimits the border between the provinces of Lucca and Massa and Carrara.
Its North Face is spectacular: a slope of almost 800 m in altitude that has nothing to envy to the most famous walls of the Dolomites or the Western Alps.
Near the Pizzo there are other beautiful peaks of the Apuan Alps: Monte Pisanino, Monte Cavallo, Monte Contrario and Monte Grondilice.
