Róa Bianca from Pian Falcina via Forzelìn de la Val de l'Ègua

At the beginning you take the beautiful Sentiero Natura Val Falcina on the left orographic side (or right in the ascent direction) of the Val Falcina.

A little beyond 600 meters of altitude and at the bend of a ridge, you leave the Sentiero Natura Val Falcina for a path on the right that initially climbs with a steady slope along the ridge.

Continuing in the first part you will find several secondary paths, at least a couple "almost as nice" as the main one: be careful to follow the right one, and here the GPS track can be helpful.

You join a path coming from the right from the Cesurài locality and continue left initially almost flat.

From here you continue for a long stretch with short steep sections with switchbacks and flat or undulating parts, crossing some small drainage areas, and reaching the small stream that comes down from the Val de l’Egua at about 1,100 meters which must also be crossed.

As written in the guide "Agneléze Erèra Pizzòcco – Monti della Destra Mis", here the track is lost: the logic is that you have to climb (on the fairly steep grassy ridge just after the drainage) about 60/100 meters to overcome the first rocky steps of the Val de l’Ègua, then return to the valley bottom and continue quite comfortably until the Forzelìn de la Val de l’Ègua.

On the ascent I re-entered the drainage after about 60 meters of elevation gain (always approximate GPS measurements) just above a rocky step, and continuing among the stones on the valley floor I found a large cairn from which I went out to the left uphill for the easy grassy flank that leads to the Forzelìn de la Val de l’Ègua.

On the descent, instead, I exited from the grassy flank higher up (about 100 meters above the arrival point at the Val de l’Ègua), cutting under a beautiful small waterfall to the right and crossing a secondary small valley: shortly after I found a series of small cairns that led me downhill on a somewhat steep slope towards the ascent tracks.

Basically, between ascent and descent, in this first stretch toward the Forzelìn de la Val de l’Ègua I followed two quite different lines but found cairns on both.

From the Forzelìn de la Val de l’Ègua you continue on the more technical section with first-grade rocks: on the ascent I was generally a bit to the right always on the rocks, while on the descent I avoided most of the rocks following a steep dwarf pine traverse.

Not difficult as a "little climb", but the rocks can be at times wet and slippery.

Shortly you arrive under a vertical wall and turn right onto a ledge among the dwarf pines.

The ledge is often protected by dwarf pines, but occasionally there is a brief section revealing strong exposure.

You always stay quite close to the rocks and sometimes the ledge becomes a passage on an inclined grassy slope.

You reach a point where, opposite two small rocky gullies on the left, the ledge is no longer continuous as a line: you have to go down a bit to pass under the start of the gullies and climb up immediately after where the continuation is visible.

Here I took two different lines for ascent and descent: for me they are equivalent, but on the lower GPS track line I also found a cairn.

Immediately after, you go around a ridge and shortly arrive under the grassy channel of the Pala dei Làres to climb: just before the saddle at the end of the channel there are two cairns indicating to exit right through a break among the bushes.

You continue diagonally with a slight ascent and then through a steeper grassy gully to a panoramic point just above Pian Falcina from which you can also see the summit.

You pass a small subpeak and then there is a good dwarf pine break that leads to the summit staying a bit to the left; however, on the ascent I did not notice it and noticed the GPS track "swerving right": follow the left one uphill which is more comfortable – both ascending and descending.
