Challenging climb, but the panorama of the Balcony of Italy is worth the effort. Sections in the sun and sections in the forest, best done in a group without a doubt. Bar at the top with wonderful views.... read more

Salita impegnativa ma il panorama del balcone d’Italia merita lo sforzo. Tratti al sole e tratti nel bosco, meglio da fare in gruppo senza dubbio. Bar in cima con vista splendida.
