An initially light hike up to the quarry, later challenging to the refuge, and something more for the summit. But once at the top, the desire to get to the Punta Rama bivouac or to Quinsenia is really great

Hiking

It is commonly reached from Pian delle Nere passing from Rifugio Fornetto, with very steep sections of climb (especially at the end), but in the absence of snow and ice and to be considered difficulty E. The sessions from up there are beautiful, from the mountains of the Val d 'Aosta to that of the Cuneo area where Monviso stands out, and then the Canavese plain with the Superga basilica and the Turin hill. I also mention the nearby Quinzeina peaks (north and south) and Punta Rama with its bivouac at the top, clearly visible on clear days
