The only unsightly view is that caused by the signal repeaters located close to the crucifix at the summit. With a bit of maneuvering you can still take nice pictures of the crucifix, however.

In the month of August, the road is usually opened to vehicle traffic up to Malga Cengledino. This shortens the trek by about 30-40 minutes.

For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.
