Itinerary usually practicable even immediately after the snowfalls, without particular difficulties, which offers breathtaking views.

We are above Ponte Maira, one of the many hamlets of Acceglio, in the upper Maira valley.

The route takes place almost entirely in a larch wood, on terrain that is also suitable for those approaching ski mountaineering for the first time.

From the Ponte Maira car park, cross the plateau above the village, following the summer path up to Grange Rossetto (1534m). Then enter the larch wood, go up it until you meet the summit slope that leads to the top of Monte Estelletta (2318m). If you wish, you can continue towards Monte Midia (2341m).

The descent can take place from both peaks.

Coming up from Dronero, continue along the provincial road up to Ponte Maira, where it is possible to leave the car in a large car park at the end of the hamlet. The itinerary starts right near the parking lot, on the opposite side.
