With compact snow and completely clear weather conditions, the ascent at night with a full moon is beautiful. Obviously bring a flashlight for safety but experiment with the climb with the lights off: you will realize that you can see very well only with the moonlight and the reflection of the snow. Along the way there is a beautiful panorama of the Turin plain, and a fantastic 360 degree panorama at the top.

Hiking

A nice ride a few kilometers from Turin. You arrive from Giaveno, follow towards Coazze until the Ponte Pietra - Aquila crossroads. You park in the Alpe Colombino square.
If the snow is already well deposited, crampons are more useful than snowshoes.
