Punta Valletta
Resorts: Pila
Panoramic site over the Pila basin.
We suggest you climb when the lifts are closed (from mid-end of April). In other periods, take the shorter route using the Pila station lifts.
Remember that regional law prohibits climbing the ski slopes with seal skins. When the lifts are open, we recommend climbing before they start running. At other times, keep to the edge of the slopes to avoid skiers.
