Of this mountain, after well over a hundred climbs, I know all the sides, it's a shame that some of the slopes inside the Val Sessera, e.g. the one for Rattarun and then Alpe Boscoso then climbing to Navagli and Alpe Campo and Cima ... are, for some stretches in the lower valley, a bit swallowed up by vegetation. The normal route from Ciota to the refuge is very popular, but for example the descent via Spelonca-Cascinetta still offers a nice ring that is more "wild" and very little frequented.
