Piccolo Colbricon

Remember, snowpack stability is subject to sudden and unforeseeable changes and shifts. Always check the local avalanche bulletin (www.meteotrentino.it or any other service that suits your needs) before departure and make sure you gather all possible information concerning current conditions by calling the Mountain Guides.

GPS routes are merely indicative of the more reasonable track but must not be followed blindly without first checking current slope and terrain conditions.

Ascent: proceed along the forest road until to the second junction. There take the trail to the left following the valley bottom-gully (south: way mark: Ex Malga and Colbricon lake) leading below “Malga Colbricon”. Now climb the open slope to your right (avalanche slope). Keep going along the edge of the forest till you hit a good visible trail. Follow for a short distance to the right. Then turn left and climb the steep hill between large sparse trees until you reach with gradient variations the open summit slopes. Keep going southwards close the ridge to the top. 

Descent: by the same route

It’s COMPULSORY to carry with you an avalanche rescue kit consisting of avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel (this is also available for rent). In the case of hard snow cover or ice, ski crampons are recommended.
