West ridge

Ascent

Starting from Alpe Vago, ascend to the turnoff for Vedretta Piz Paradisin along an easy and well-marked path to the turnoff. Then follow intuitive traces and rare cairns until reaching the vicinity of the first lake of the valley. From here follow the red marks and the cairns to Vedretta del Paradisino. Move right toward the obvious col. From the col climb the west ridge, first over scree, then high up stay on the ridge with passages on sound and stable rock up to grade 3. After passing the first gendarme, climb the last steep and not trivial passage to the summit.

Descent

Descend by the normal route through easy ledges to reach the glacial basin and cross below the small glacial lake until you get back to the col and descend onto the glacier. Descend the ascent route and there is still time for the lake circuit of the Valletta up to the pass, from the col. If desired, from the col instead of going onto the glacier you can descend to the Valletta pass. From here descend by an easy and well-marked path until you meet the ascent turnoff. Descend to Alpe Vago crossing a forest of centuries-old larches.
