Secondary peak between Valtellina and Valcamonica. It is a double peak. The climb is mostly not difficult, it takes place on military roads still in good condition and, especially from Malga Varadega, it is quite short and with a limited difference in altitude. Part of the upper part of the climb takes place on the north side so pay attention in case of late snow. The road ends at a saddle immediately below the two peaks, which do not have access paths. The southern one can be reached from the saddle by free route climbing the large boulders (watch out for the relative holes...), easy rock passages but still for hikers with a minimum of experience. The northern one, slightly higher, seemed less accessible to me, you have to study a climb on a slightly exposed slab (there is a small cross so you can go up somehow)

Lago del Mortirolo is an enchanted lake with its refuge of the same name. To reach it you can get there easily because the paths are all very easy. During the uphill sections, it is advisable to pay attention to the rocky outcrops, but running along these paths is pleasant and offers the possibility of admiring the Adamello and the magnificence of the rhododendrons. The pond has a small road that runs alongside it, surrounded by meadows where it is possible to sunbathe. Running here is very fun and challenging.
