Routes in Cuneo Area/Granda for selected grade

This is the Hiker's route on the south face and the typical way to descent from the summit. The start of the route begins at the "Andreotti" bivouac, a hut used only for emergency. This hut can be approached from either Varaita Valley or Quintino Sella Hut, over the Sagnettes Pass. The best time to attempt this climb is between early August and mid September, where ice and snow have disappeared and the rock is stabilized. In this period crampons and ice gear are generally not necessary but parties usually start the route roped and wearing helmets. The route is signed by yellow marks and it takes normally 3 hours from the emergency hut to reach the cross on the summit.
