A trip which, if done in snowy conditions, could perhaps become an interesting ski mountaineering route.
On foot, it proved to be a monotonous and tiring path, although the views towards Upper Lario, Legnone, and Grignone are top-notch.
Poor choice to descend from Dosso Bello along the West slope: the route passes over grass that goes from steep to very steep, ground from slippery to very slippery, especially early spring when the grass is yellowed, forming a dangerous mat for the ankles of the less experienced. Recommended, once in a while, to return following your own steps along the ascent route.
Author’s recommendation
Dosso Bello may disappoint more demanding hikers as it is not a true well-defined summit but a slight hump on the longer ridge leading to the top of Motto Rotondo.
