Highest peak of Italy. Relatively easy, mostly walking on snow. Summit ridge involves some scrambling. Very nice 4k summit for beginners.

Usually done with a night at Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele. Here shown as one long push from car park.
There can be some traffic at the summit. It’s usually reached by traversing on the snow below the summit and then scrambling back on rock at the top ridge. Clockwise.
Some quickdraws are useful on the summit ridge to clip on the bolts. Other protection isn’t needed.
