Pizzo Stella

From Passo di Lei, head west and climb a long rocky ridge. Keep left following the rare red marks. Finally, a small scree gorge has to be climbed up to the top of a ridge at 2959 m altitude. From here, stay on the ridge line which partly has narrow sections. After overcoming a notch requiring some light climbing on a short stretch, the ridge becomes broad and flat and leads to the final slope, which is climbed up over somewhat brittle rocks to the summit (3163 m). The descent via the Angeloga route runs along the crest towards southwest, paying attention at the junction to follow the right part. The ridge leads to a broad saddle known as “Garlaschelli”. From this point, descend the slopes straight down to the north, sometimes snow-covered, keeping near a scree ridge on the left side of the snowfield. Upon reaching the plateau below, turn right, cross an alpine meadow and descend along it to the beautiful little lake of Alp Angeloga. Here stands the Rifugio Chiavenna (2040 m), from there follow the trail downward.
