ITINERARY
From Rifugio Stoppani al Grostè (2436 m) go up for a short stretch, trying to avoid the ski slopes, up to the top station of the Grostè Express chairlift (2500 m). Here begins the real itinerary. There are no indications and signs. You follow the tracks which, depending on the state of the snow, were left by previous hikers. We proceed in a continuous ups and downs passing under the Grostè and Falkner peaks. Arrived at a small iron cross (2595 m), go down to the right and then go up again for the last very steep section. Near the summit, if there is little snow, it will be necessary to take off your snowshoes for greater safety. Once you reach Cima Roma (2837 m) you return along the same road.
