From Bagni Masino follow the small road which passes the tennis courts and crosses the river over a stone bridge. Go right before the bridge and cross a field (there are signs) and then take the Val Porcellizzo mule path. At first the trail is easy to follow but further ahead it becomes less continuous as it goes up through the woods over several switchbacks. It comes to the alpine huts at Corte Vecchia (1405 m) and continues over level ground. Go through the natural tunnel of "Termopili", formed by two leaning rock masses. After a tract over a gentle slope, there's a steep ascent over a lot of switchbacks. A long traverse towards the left (north) brings you in sight of the Sione River (problematic when the water is high). Then enter a sparse larch woods to come out at the Rosa pastures. After a short climb, enter the valley carved by the river and, following the waterway, you'll soon get to the large meadow of "Pianone". Pass by Cassera Porcellizzo (1992 m) and the trail crosses a bridge over the river to come to a second level area. Cross this meadow diagonally and ascend the orographic right side of the valley (right side when facing down valley) over a series of switchbacks to "Muretto" at 2200 m of elevation. Now, a small well marked and maintained trail, takes you over pastures and then rock slabs, hillocks and rocks. Go up towards the north, crossing some small valleys and a tract through large blocks to eventually arrive at the mountain hut.

To Omio mountian hut 2100 m, on the Risari trail and Barbacan Pass (EE; 2 hrs and 30 min).
To Allievi mountain hut 2385 m on the Roma trail (EE; 5 hrs).
The trial, which is level at the beginning, goes east and crosses the semicircle that closes out the valley. The path goes up and down over several hills. Then it descends to go around a spur and goes back up to Camerozzo Pass (2765 m) on the ridge between Val Porcellizzo adn Val del Ferro (metal railing). Using the long ledge that leads south, go down (fixed ropes) and then return left to pass a rocky tract (fixed ropes) and enter Val del Ferro. The trail is difficult to follow but is is full of signs pointing the way. It crosses the valley, passing some meters uphill from Molteni Valsecchi bivouac (2510 m), though it's not visible from the trial. Come to the opposite side of the valley and go up to Qualido Pass (2647 m). From here descend over ledges and a large gully to Val Qualido. Cross the valley over a level path and then go up to Averta Pass (2540 m). From here, descend into the wide Averta valley and go around the SE edge of Torrione di Zocca. Continue going downhill over a last steep part and then go uphill along the foot of the cliffs of Torrione di Zocca. After about 200 m of elevation loss, a short traverse towards the right along rocks and sparse patches of grass, brings you to the mountain hut.
To Sciora mountain hut 2118 m, via Bondo Pass (EE; route over a glacier; 4 hrs).
To Titta Ronconi bivouac 3169 m, via Bondo Pass (EE; route in part over a glacier; 2 hrs).
To Pedroni-Dal Prà 2577 m, via Porcellizzo Pass (EE; 2 hrs).
To Brasca mountain hut 1304 m, via Averta Pass (E; 3 hrs).

To Pizzo Cengalo 3374 m, on the Normal Route. Advised Period: July to September. Elevation Gain: around 840 m. Difficulty: F+. Equipment: rope, crampons and ice axe. Time: 4 hours from the mountain hut to the summit. First Ascent: E. Devouassoud, D.W. Freshfield, and C.C. Tuker in 1866. Route: Follow the Roma Trail in the direction of the Allievi mountain hut (east) and go up a few hundred meters towards the north-east, entering the large moraine valley between the eastern side of Punto Sertori and the southern side of Cengalo. Go along the rocks of Sertori and then over a snowfield to come to the foot of a snow and rubble gully at 3051 meteres of elevation (1 hr and 30 min, be careful of unstable rock). Now go right, slightly towards the northern side of the mountain over detritus and snow patches to the furrow in the ridge. Climb up the wide ridge over easy rock and at the end (be careful) traverse right across the southern slope, going around the second and highest point of the ridge. Return towards the ridge along large blocks of rock and come to the ice cap near the top. Follow this to the summit. (Be Careful! There may be cornices on the northern side. Go up on the southern side.)
