Poncione di Braga Map

Very long trip, often divided into two parts thanks to the support of the refuge which is located on the track halfway. From this point on, wide slopes lead to the base of the North ridge, wide but still demanding and technical. From the top you can enjoy an unparalleled view of the highest peaks of the adjacent valleys.
