Eiskogel Map

From the refuge follow little men and indications for Giogo Alto, first on stony ground then glacier interspersed with moraines. Having taken the main stream, the yoke with the new bivouac city of Cantù on the right is now clearly visible, and the saddle where it attaches to the NE ridge of the Eiskogel on the left (2 hours). Follow the evident ridge to reach the summit. The descent takes place on the same ascent route with due attention.
