Poncione di Cassina Baggio (central summit) 2850 m Route archive

Of the many peaks of the Poncione di Cassina Baggio, the central summit is not the highest, yet remains topographically the most important: This is where the striking SE ridge joins. Most visitors reach the cairn and its summit book via this ridge. However the mountain offers an equally rewarding alpine hike (which is also the normal descent).
