The Climb of the Cornetto mountain - Description

The vertical route Carbonare / Cornetto has recently been restored and follows the traces of the historic ski slope that was closed in the year 1966. It is a route suitable for ski mountaineering, snowshoes and hiking. More and more new off-piste lovers come here to climb up this mountain between uncontaminated spaces and wild nature. It has a North / Northeast exposure with good snow resistance.
From the top of the Cornetto mountain, at 2070 meters of altitude, the 360° view on the surrounding mountains is amazing. You can see the Adamello, the dolomitic Brenta Group, the Marmolada and, to the south, the Mount Pasubio.

Directions

  • Start

    Carbonare

    In the village Carbonare, from the parking lot near the church, follow the Fricca road and, after a few meters on the left, take the path indicated by a large wooden sign. The trail begins immediately to rise and, once the wood begins to show (about 1700 m), it continues diagonally to the left. You will reach the old ski track "Cima 3". Go straight. Now go slightly left diagonally up to about 2000 meters and then, along the ridge, to the top of the Cornetto mountain. When traveling this last stretch, pay particular attention to possible snow accumulations. For the descent, follow the ascent route.

It’s also important to bear in mind that tight fitting or insufficiently waterproof ski boots can cause frostbite. It’s also COMPULSARY to carry with you an avalanche rescue kit consisting of avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel. A suitable helmet and other safety equipment are also strongly recommended (avalanche airbags etc.).
