North Ridge

3A | AD | III Edit route
The North Ridge is the classic mountaineering line on Becs de Bosson and is described in alpine guide sources for the peak. It is a genuine alpine route rather than a hiking path, following a rocky ridge with mixed scrambling and short climbing sections. Conditions can vary significantly with snow or verglas, which can increase the seriousness of the route. The line is generally considered a moderate alpine climb rather than a technical rock route. Exposure is present on the ridge, and route-finding can matter in poor visibility. It is normally climbed from the Becs de Bosson hut area or nearby high approach terrain.

South Ridge

3A | AD | III
The South Ridge is another documented alpine route on Becs de Bosson. It is a mountaineering ascent involving ridge terrain rather than a simple trail walk. The route typically combines scrambling on rock with sections of loose or broken ground. In early season or after snowfall, the ridge can require more careful movement and route-finding. It is less about sustained difficulty than about alpine terrain, exposure, and conditions. The route is usually treated as a classic summit line for experienced parties.
