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!!!
