Medium level ski touring routes

Beautiful skiing on the Dosdè glacier with this exciting ski tour, with constant gradients leading to Punta d'Avedo. A stunning panorama of the entire Val Viola and Val Grosina. It is a pleasant itinerary within everyone's reach.

From Arnoga, follow the road that enters Val Viola, passing the Dosso, Permogli, and Alpe Campo huts. Just before the Altumeira summer hut, descend to the Baita Caricc; just before or after the hut, cross over a small bridge on the opposite side and climb up to the Dosdè plain. Passing near the Federico refuge in Dosdè, continue on the plain, keeping to the left of the Viola torrent, and just before an evident cliff, follow a small valley that leads to a plateau. Continue more or less keeping to the center of the impluvium, arriving at the Vedretta di Dosdè. Climb the right-hand side and gradually reach the glacier's center in a flat area. Continue aiming to the right of the final rocky cusp of the summit. With slopes that become steeper and steeper, passing to the left of a rocky spur, you reach the final slope that leads to the right side of the summit and climb it in the less steep area, from the western col in short order to the summit.

It is an enriching ski mountaineering tour from an environmental and scenic point of view, which runs along the Cancano valley and on steep slopes up to the northeast ridge on the Swiss border. The final section is a little exposed and steep, but worth reaching the summit with care.

From the Ristoro Solena near the little church of Cancano, follow the minor road to the left, which runs alongside the Cancano reservoir for about one kilometer until you reach where a prominent, steep little valley rises to the right. Depending on the snow conditions, climb up the right-hand bank or walk along the bottom. When the terrain softens, continue for another hundred meters and climb up the slope to the right and gradually to the left, taking in the plateaus above, always heading north.

When you reach a hollow, continue along the slope to the left and then north again for about 200 meters. Then, climb the steep, wide gully that leads to a ridge pass.

From here to the left, following the northeast ridge, you quickly reach the summit and descend westwards for a few dozen meters to reach the base of the final part of the climb. Follow the ridge and then to the leftover steep, exposed terrain to reach the summit.

It is an enriching ski mountaineering tour from an environmental and scenic point of view. It runs along the Cancano valley and on steep slopes up to the northeast ridge on the Swiss border. The final section is a little exposed and steep, but it is worth reaching the summit with care.

Start just before the Foscagno Pass in Angelina's hamlet, in front of the Interalpen hotel, and follow the broad plain that leads towards the right to an evident gully. Climb the gully almost up to the ridge to the left, following it to the summit.

The ski mountaineering trip to Monte Rinalpi, or instead to the Vallone di Rinalpi, is undoubtedly one of those trips that deserve a bit of effort, the long difference in altitude and the development to make a good ski tour in a unique, solitary, and rewarding place. Entering the wide valley after the Boron Malga, one is greeted by a very harmonious morphology of the snowy terrain, and our tracks going up these slopes should also be so. The Vallone di Rinalpi, due to its favorable exposure, is one of the places that suffer little from the effect of the wind, so the descent will almost always be on powdery, fabulous snow that you will remember for a while. The view of the summit is spectacular.

From the parking area in Isolaccia, climb following the little road that, passing by the Baite di Pezzel, leads to the little church of Prescedont at 1750 m altitude. Following the signs for the Malga Boron hut, we again enter the beautiful larch and fir forest and shortly afterward begin to catch sight of the imposing northern slope of Cima Piazzi. Having passed the Boron huts, continue along the hillside to a vast plateau. Now turn left and enter a valley that rises between a morainic edge and the western slopes of the Corno di San Colombano. Having passed a steep section in the center, a logical and evident route takes us close to Colle di Rinalpi. We now climb northwards up the last steep section and then turn south again, climbing the last few meters that lead to the summit.

This route has considerable development and moderate gradients in an area hardly frequented in winter. The Val Verva is monotonous, but the final gully makes this out-of-the-way route attractive.

From Arnoga near the low parking area, enter Val Viola following the old mule track that enters flat until it passes Baite di Campo. Continue until you meet the deviation for Val Verva, descending to the Viola River.

After crossing the bridge, after a short up-and-downhill stretch, the trail begins to climb again, arriving near the Baite di Verva huts. Continue on the right side of the valley, following the little road until you reach the Alpe di Verva and continue on the same side.

Five hundred meters before the Verva pass, we gradually deviate to the left, arriving at the base of the western slopes of the Cima Piazzi. Keeping a reasonable distance to the southeast, we reach the Verva lake, passing it preferably on the left. From here, the gorge is visible, and in a southerly direction, one ascends it without any particular problems until reaching the pass.
