Experience in avalanche assessment necessaryTips and suggestions
Depending on snow conditions in the hollow before the summit, you may need to initially head more towards the south summit – but then you must cross the summit slopeRoadbook
From the parking lot in the Oliva district, the route initially follows the road closed in winter past the hamlet of Colombata and a bridge over the stream (signpost). Afterwards, you can either follow the bends of the road or ascend directly to the Gr. Durazza alpine pastures. Then leave the forest road to the right onto the wide slopes below Mt. Cappel. Ascend further past its summit to the right towards the saddle between Mt. Ruissas S and Mt. Ruissas S, then to the (a few meters higher) north summit.
