Wonderful and satisfactory peak; easily accessible, extremely scenic over the line between Trentino and Alto Adige. The route is ideal for those who are living the first experiences in high altitude with snowshoes. The environment is typically glacial, and it’s characterized by tongues of ice descending from the peaks all around.
