Via Normale (Normal Route) from Campo Imperatore via the southern side

2A | PD | II
This is the standard and most frequently documented mountaineering route on Corno Grande. It follows the southern side of the massif and is generally considered the easiest way to the summit, but it is still an alpine ascent rather than a simple hike. The route involves steep scree, loose rock, and exposed sections near the upper mountain. In early season or after snow, it can require crampons and an ice axe. Route-finding is usually straightforward in good visibility, but the terrain can be unpleasant and unstable. It is commonly used as the descent line as well.

Via Direttissima (South Face Direct Route)

3A | AD | III
The Direttissima is a more direct and more serious alpine route on the south face of Corno Grande. It is steeper and more committing than the normal route, with greater exposure and more sustained climbing. Conditions can vary significantly depending on snow and rock quality. Loose rock and route-finding difficulties are common concerns. It is a classic mountaineering line rather than a hiking ascent. The route is best suited to climbers comfortable on exposed alpine terrain.

Via delle Creste (Ridge Route)

3A | AD | III
This ridge route follows one of the mountain’s crest lines and is a classic alpine way to the summit. It is more exposed and technical than the normal route, with sustained scrambling on rock. The route is sensitive to weather and can become hazardous in wind, snow, or poor visibility. Loose blocks and exposure are the main objective dangers. It is a genuine mountaineering line and not a simple trail. The route is typically described as requiring sure-footedness and comfort on airy terrain.
