Aprica - Monte Baradello Ski Mountaineering route

Trivigno - Monte Padrio ski mountaineering route

The ascent towards Mount Padrio, starting from Trivigno, should be considered as little more than a simple walk with skis, rather than a ski mountaineering ascent, seeing as the elevation difference is small (360 m) and the slopes are not steep. The peak is visible from the car park, on the right, and initially a stretch of snow-covered road leads you towards it. Go left before reaching the Valle del Santo. This first stretch of the route is the same as the one for the "Dos della Croce" snowshoeing route. After the crossroads you will go past a few lodges; go right along a path that is easy to follow, past a few small ledges and towards a high plane which leads to the top. The panorama at the peak of Mount Padrio offers 360-degree views of all the surrounding peaks and valleys, an orographic disc, helping to discover the names of all the peaks around us. Return down the same route as the ascent.

Always check the weather forecast before going on an excursion
