With the Pianalunga - Bocchetta delle Pisse chairlift (43) you reach an altitude of 2403 meters to enjoy a privileged view of the south face of Monte Rosa. From here you can start excursions towards Alpe Bors or Alpe Pile or approach the start of the Cimalegna via ferrata.
What to do at the Bocchetta delle Pisse?
Are you looking for an exciting course on a fully equipped rocky ridge? Then you absolutely must try the Via Ferrata di Cimalegna, in Alagna Valsesia! Breathtakingly beautiful and accessible in summer thanks to the chairlift service which from Pianalunga leads straight to its start, at the Bocchetta delle Pisse. It is a cross between hiking and mountaineering, also suitable for the little ones.
However, to travel it, you always need to have the right equipment and experience. For this you can contact the Alpine Guides Alagna Scuola di Alpinismo. To reach the start of the via Ferrata, you can book the opening of the Bocchetta delle Pisse chairlift every day for a minimum of 4 people. There will be a single uphill run from Pianalunga at 9.00. Meeting at the ticket office to purchase the ticket at 8.30.
Furthermore, excursions depart from here towards Alpe Bors, a verdant basin at an altitude of 1836 meters crossed by dozens of streams. Here we also find the Crespi-Calderini refuge, small but very welcoming. Continuing downhill, it is also possible to reach Alpe Pile, a green plateau that was the ancient site of the Sesia glacier and is one of the most important panoramic points on the south face of Monte Rosa.
