Surprisingly stable, surprisingly easy
Campanitt (small clock towers) they are called by the inhabitants of Valle di Blenio, Pizzo Columbe (dove horn) in Leventina: the bizarre pinnacles made of blinding white rock. By the way: this is the ideal tour for mixed groups. Close to Piano Grande the group separates: the slow hikers continue their stroll, while the ambitious climbers hike across the mountain. At Lago dei Campanitt they meet again. The scenery: beautiful high plains, lush pastures, countless lakes. The rock: surprisingly stable. The ascent: surprisingly easy – for both groups.

- Difficulty / Material
-
On the ascent on the south face the grassy slope offers good steps, but it is steep; in addition schrofen and rocks. The grade is mostly T4, a few passages T5. The summit pinnacle is a juicy, but short and slightly exposed grade II passage. However, even without climbing these two metres you will have the summit feeling. The descent on scree and grass (T4) is easier. Between Piano dei Canali and Foppe di Pertusio it is T3 (pathless, hard to find the trail).
