Trail suitable for everyone because it is not so difficult.
Author’s recommendation
The entire mule track that climbs from Rifugio Graziani to the Altissimo is exposed to the sun and on a sunny side. In summer it is recommended to tackle the path in the coolest hours and to leave with a little water for the excursion. You can shorten the climb by taking a path at the third bend of the mule track that quickly leads to the summit. It is advisable to return from path 622 and 650, or to make the ascent from 651 and return from 650 and 633.
