"From Lago Laudemio to the north east, following track which runs more or less alongside the (disused) ski lift, to around 1850m at the saddle with Timpa Scazzariddo. From here the path continues south, then doubles back climbing just off the ridgeline to the top. Fairly straightforward. Quite a few flies due in part to the number of cattle, no doubt. Great views, especially of the sanctuary on top of Monte Sirino (note that the massif is called Sirino, but Papa is the highest point). From here descended more directly to the saddle down the first ravine next to the ante-cima which was steep but unproblematic, and went up Scazzariddo.
Saw lots of spring flowers, including daisies, buttercups, violets, (plus some very yellow gorse on the approach in the car), plus others I can't name, and some large snowball fungi." — vygodski • May 24, 2024
