The Sentiero Attrezzato Panorama runs through the ridge that culminates on the Punta Valletta (3090 m) above Aosta, reaching an easy three thousand with metal equipment to support the most delicate passages. An excursion with departure and arrival by cable car from Pila, with superb views of Mont Blanc, Cervino, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso.
From Chamôle station upstream of Aosta–Pila plants (directions road map) descend slightly on path 19C ignoring deviations towards chairlift Couis 1. Then take left the deviation for the Col Tsa Setse following path 22. The climb, never too steep and guided by yellow signals on the rocks, leads to the Col Tsa Setse (2815 m) with magnificent views of the Mont Blanc massif. From the hill, directions left towards Punta Valletta lead to path 19A, point of attack of the equipment (2h from the mountain station).
The Attrezzato Path begins with a short descent equipped and then a rocky gendarme. Walk along the rocky crest towards the anticyme, bypassing a second gendarme in adherence with the cable. A cross-exposed little below the crest wire introduces to a long stretch of crest with the already visible cross. The last highlight features a few short stretches of rocky walls and balconies, as well as the peak cross of the Punta Valletta (3090 m, 1h from the attack, 3h total from the mountain station).
Classified Difficult for altitude, ridge exposure and short climbing routes ensured in the final part. The equipment is recent and the route has no high technical difficulties at any point; however, the high altitude environment and the steep descent to the Col de Chamôle require extensive hiking experience.
From July to September with good conditions. The altitude requires high mountain experience, especially in the steep stretch of descent to the Hill of Chamôle.
From the summit you descend north on the normal road, on slopes and grassy crest towards Tête Noire and then to the Col de Chamôle. From here you can reach the Chamôle lake near the cable car to return (2h from Punta Valletta, 5h total).
From the same cable car of Pila is accessible the most demanding Monte Emilius Ferrata. The Arbolle Refuge, accessible from the Col de Chamôle, is a useful base for connecting the two routes.
