North face of Mottarone leads to Eden and Willy
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008In the interests of fairness, as there are other ristoranti at the top of Mottarone, and because Italian bureaucracy once again trumped my plan to visit Locarno today, we decided to try route M3 from Baveno up to Mottarone, where we found Albergo Ristorante Eden.
Yesterday we took route L1 from nearby Stresa to the same summit, a 1300m climb. Today was the same altitude ascent but via an up and down ridge that followed a bracing 700m rise to Mt Camoscio where we were rewarded with a view of heaven, well clouds to be precise.
Stumble It!
