Start point description
From the Pont-Saint-Martin motorway exit, turn right toward Torino. At the second roundabout, turn left toward Gressoney.
After a few hundred meters, take the road to the Lys Valley on the right and follow it for just over 1 km until reaching the junction for Ivery on the right. The road climbs with steep hairpin bends to the village. Pass through the houses and continue past Susey, going under the hydroelectric conduits. After the ascent, on the right are the houses of Grangia, where there are some clearings suitable for parking.
Trail description
From the car, ascend briefly behind the houses, then cross to the left to reach the wide Pian du Gias clearing. Shortly after, cross a rural road and follow the trail that continues among large chestnut trees and two stone walls.
Cross a small valley and enter a beautiful beech forest, which leads to the Pian de Bose clearing. At the end, take the right-hand path, which climbs steeply through the beech trees to the Thuet huts. From here, cross to the left to reach Concaby and shortly after, a rural road.
Follow the rural road gently ascending through a larch forest, leaving the Alpe Serrapiana junction on the right, and continue to the end of the road at Alpe Ciarma.
Continue along the trail to reach a pass from which the plains of Piedmont are visible. From here, follow the ridge to the left, which becomes steep and quickly leads to the summit.
The return follows the same route.
