Place of departure: The parking lot of the Val Bondasca road in Laret.
Altitude at departurte: Quota 1330 m circa
Altitude gain: 800 m circa
Time: 2 hours
Difficulty : E = (Hike) route on a well-marked, easy to follow trail or footpath. Requires suitable equipment and fitness level.
 
Access:

From Bondo, follow the Val Bondasca road to the parking lot where it ends. (Toll for the Val Bondasca road can be purchased at the automatic ticket machine behind the church. It accepts both francs and euros.) Take the trail that is the natural continuation of the road. Ignore the turnoff on the right for Sasc Fourà mountain hut and you'll come to the level area of Laret at 1368 m. Continue getting closer to the river and the ruins of the eatern amphitheater of Val Bondasca. At this point the trail turns left and, with a long series of steep switchbacks, gains elevation to come to Eraveder, which offers a panoramic view at 1843 m. From here the ascent recommences, first steeply and then more gently, making a long diagonal toward the southeast over ever-rockier terrain to the mountain hut.

 

Traverse:

To Albigna mountain hut via Cacciabella Pass, 2897 m (EE; 4hrs and 30 min).
To Gianetti mountain hut via Bondo Pass, 3169 m (EE; 5 hrs). See the following.

To Titta Ronconi bivouac, 3169 m (EE; 2hrs and 30 min). From the mountain hut go up over the last grassy turf adn then rubble and boulders, following a faint trail that goes up toward the southeast to the Bondasca Glacier below the cliffs of Sciora. Go up along the slopes of Ago di Sciora and Sciora di Dentro, coming nearer and nearer the middle of the glacier (crevasses). Continue toward the south over slopes with fewer crevasses, heading for the summit of the glacier where the watershed ridge, at 3267 meters of elevation CNS, divides Ferro Pass on the left from Bondo Pass on the right. With a slight turn in this direction, pass the last slopes and easy rocks, which lead you to the pass and Ronconi bivouac. From here follow the route to Gianetti mountain hut in reverse to get down to the mountain hut. To Sasc Fourà mountian hut by way of "Vial" ( EE; 3hrs). From Sciora mountain hut, follow the good trail (trailmarkers are red and white) which heads obliquely for the ridge of Pizzi Gemelli. This path goes over a moraine and, keeping first below the ridge of Gemelli adn then below the majestic face of Cengalo, crosses the moraine with a slight descent. Pass by the Cengalo glacier to come to the end of morainic terrain and the beginning of grassy slopes and boulders, which lead up a short ascent to below the eastern butress of the large ridge that is an extension of the northern edge of Badile. A diagonal ramp cuts into the butress from left to right. This ramp begins at 1900 m of elevation and is called "Vial". Ascend the accomodating ramp, which offers some easy passages on rock, to get to the top. Go onto a large ridge made up of boulders, rock faces and patches of grass. Then go down over the rock faces and lovely grassy tracts to shortly reach the Sasc Fourà mountain hut.
