DESCRIPTION
Excursion to the Cervino della Val Sarentino.
The Weisshorn, or Corno Bianco della Val Sarentino, is a mountain that offers a beautiful view of the surrounding peaks. The itinerary does not have an important difference in altitude despite the summit being at an altitude of 2705, because it starts already from 2211 m of the Passo di Pennes. Up to Gröllejoch the path climbs gradually then the last stretch becomes much steeper and more demanding, as you are following an aided path. This section is not technically difficult, but it should not be taken lightly, especially if the surface is wet. For those who are not experts, we recommend that you bring via ferrata equipment.

ITINERARY
From Passo di Pennes (2211 m) take path 12A. You pass some small lakes, climb to Gröllejoch (2557 m) and then with the last stretch - aided path - you reach the summit of Corno Bianco di Sarentino (2705 m). You return by the same road to the small lake near the Passo di Pennes. Here you take an unmarked path and climb to Punta di Campo / Gänsekragenspitze (2322 m). Now go down to Passo di Pennes.
