A beautiful tour that we have lenghtened, in order to gaze at the beautiful views of the Valley Argentera. The plan is to reach Punta Rognosa and then to also go somewhere else: on the way we decided to go to the Col Rocce Platasse.

Route

You take the road above the houses and proceed among the larches slightly uphill,

you pass a signpost with many directions

until yo get to a wide clearing on your left

You go up the valley to the left that descends from Monte Sotto Rognosa, leaving the narrow road and keeping slightly right towards the west ridge, rising to the easy slopes in a sparse forest

After passing the rocky ridge you go up through valleys

So you find yourself on the mountainside of the Monte Sotto Rognosa, while on your right there is your destination: the Punta Rognosa.

You first reach the Col della Rognosa and then you get to the summit

You can go down along the same route, or as per the attached track, through the inviting west valley

After the descent we then decided to go back to the Col Rocce Platasse. (note: you can also go back taking the same narrow road previously left to climb the Rognosa that with slight descent bringing you back to Bessen Haut)

to go down and take the road that you had left going up the Rognosa
