Mount Schiaron Offroad from East (CSTM)
.CSTM Mount Schiaron can be tackled by climbing from the east. It starts on a forest road just past the locality of La Fitta in Val Visdende at the junction for Malga Mazon (1312 m a.s.l.) The gravel road winds through fir woods, gradually climbing up to an altitude of 1600 m a.s.l., then the climb must be undertaken along the gully that points to the top of the mountain without a real path. The slope is steep and the ascent requires attention in case of frost or rain due to the presence of a lot of grass. Continue along the gully until you reach the top, from here (2100 m a.s.l.) turn left to dodge the rocky jumps. Now we are on the ridge and we can admire the view towards Val Vissada. Following the grassy ridge of the mountain we can easily reach the summit.
.considerations The ascent to Mount Schiaron from East, leads to an altitude of 2426 m a.s.l.; starting from Val Visdende you have an elevation of 934m and cover 2km in about 3 hours. The difficulty of the excursion is E as there are no particular difficulties and dangers along the climb. The descent can also be undertaken on the west side of the mountain, descending along the normal routes with CAI signs. In fact, this route is not recommended for the ascent as it is tiring and not very scenic, it can be considered as an alternative descent if you want to undertake the ascent to the road of the huts or as a shortcut to Val Visdende.
.water The track guarantees a good supply of water, especially the first part of the climb in Val Visdende. The second part has few sources of water.
.bike The climb to the summit cannot be undertaken by bicycle.
.dog The whole excursion can be accompanied by a dog or more, as long as the animal is used to the altitude and knows how to behave on high mountain paths in the presence of rolling stones. Alternatively, you must proceed with a leash. In general there are no passages that can put four-legged animals in difficulty.
.shelter The presence of the new Val Vissada bivouac and the Longerin cave as well as the caves on the top of the Schiaron guarantee a good shelter in case of bad weather, but also the possibility of being able to spend the night in the area in order to comfortably climb all the peaks of the Valley.
