To reach the 2,231 meters of altitude of Punta Quinseina Sud, also known as Punta Quinseina di Santa Elisabetta, you follow a beautiful path which, although not particularly difficult, has quite steep sections, sometimes on stony ground, and starts from Pian del Lupo. If the mists allow it, the panorama from this point is extraordinary, ranging from the Canavese plain to the Alps. However, even more fascinating is the somewhat exposed path along the ridge that leads to the northern tip. Running along the ridge is an amazing experience!

The Mares peak is a mountain in the Graian Alps. Despite the modest altitude of 1,654 metres, it offers an extraordinary view, an authentic panoramic balcony over the Canavese plain, the mountains of the Orco and Soana Valleys, and the Serra Morenica, embracing Gran Paradiso, Levanne, the Monferrato hills, the Ligurian Apennines , the Maritime Alps and Monviso. This beautiful panoramic peak can be reached via easy paths from two sides: towards the east, the route is slightly steep, making the uphill run a little challenging but not impossible; towards the west, the path follows the rounded ridge without ever being too exposed. It's a great opportunity for an atmospheric ride.
