Starting from the Hotel at Campo Imperatore, near the cable car station there are multiple options:
After a while a deviation on the right will bring you to a straight path “Direttissima”, where Alpinist skills and equipment are required. Otherwise on the left you follow the normal path “via normal”. Again the path splits in two: on the right you take for an easy Alpinist path “via delle creste occidentali”; on the right you continue for the normal path, climbing up to the peak “Corno Grande” (2912 m).
