Introduzione

The Cima Vertana is the most elevated in the minor group Vertana-Angelo, that is the important northern offshoot of the main range of the Ortles-Cevedale. It is a fantastic viewpoint(such as the next Angelo Grande - see excursion from the same authorAngelo Grande) less crowded than this last, especially for its access which is quite complex, the absence of supporting points and the challenge of finding the route which is conditioned by the continual changes in the big Rosim glacier, that, especially in these last years, becomes more and more uncovered and is cropping up on the track with danger of slippings.The signs end about at the height of 2850 m. so that it is necessary to deduce the pathway by observing the snow conditions which are very variable, and choose the best route according to these conditions. With a a poor visibility this ascent is definitely inadvisible.
