"From Valico della Serra walking down the wide gravel road to Fonte della Moscosa, sheltered through mature forest. From the font, took the rout to the left, up a lush green valley arriving at the Madonnina statue. This is 1838m. From here, to the right,and arriving on the open slope of what I understand to be Monte Piano, diagonal across this scree and bending round the nose here to continue up the other side. Arriving at the sella, continued along the crest, first skirting Il Gendarme on the way to Mt Viglio but climbing it on the return. Returned slightly lower on west side of crest and descending along the crested slope of Monte Piano and then doglegging to Fonte Della Moscosa and back, uphill unfortunately.
Saw choughs. Clear day. Great views onto Furcino. Scary on Gendarme and the edges, many of which are actually overhangs!!!

"From Campo Imperatore up to the Sella of Monte Aquila. Then took the route via the scree slopes (still some snow patches making them quite perilous) up the steep climb to Sella di Brecciaio. Then took the via normale, reaching the summit from the North. Hard going. Took 5.4 hours all in - windy but sunny too. " — vygodski • Jun 29, 2019
"The plan was to summit Corno Grande but locals' talk of the wind being too strong gave my companion cold feet. The wind was strong, but I didn't feel it was too bad. I wonder how the naysayers would fare on a winter walk on the South Downs. Anyway, erring on the side of caution we walked up Monte Aquila instead, the obvious route from Campo Imperatore. Fine views. Plans to take in a few of the other lower lying peaks were subverted by partner's bout of vertigo. Will return. Too spectacular not to. Disappointing but..." — vygodski • Sep 27, 2018
"Bellissima salita partendo dai Piani di Pezza, seguendo il sentiero n. 1 che fa tutte le vette della zona: Colle dell'Orso, Bicchero, Punta Trieste, Cafornia, Velino e Sevice....uno spettacolo indescrivibile! Notte trascorsa ad ammirare le stelle al rifugio Capanna di Sevice e discesa al mattino dal sentiero n. 3 che porta a Santa Maria in Valle Polcraneta.
Un'escursione indimenticabile!" — Ipatton • Aug 4, 2015
