Capanna dell'AlbignaPhoto: Bregaglia Maloja Turismo, Bregaglia Maloja Turismo
From Pass Casnil, you can ascend the beautiful rock pyramid of the same-named Piz Casnil by easy climbing over solid granite blocks.
It is not quite easy to find the entry and the correct route to the summit. Once at the top, you enjoy an excellent view from Piz Casnil of all the surrounding mountains.
From the Albigna hut, follow the route to Pass da Casnil Sud until shortly before the pass height. Here you leave the path and traverse towards the northern pass crossing. Alternatively, Pass da Casnil Nord can also be reached with some scrambling directly via the connecting ridge (following the cairns).
From Pass da Casnil Nord, either continue directly to the south ridge and climb here on slabby rock (II-III) to the Casnil summit.
Or keep west and ascend the summit via the southwestern spur. The entry here is not quite easy to find: from Pass da Casnil Nord, keep slightly left and go towards the chute near the large slabs - then you soon encounter numerous cairns that mark the way up (I-II). The descent follows the same route.
