With its 1816 meters high, Livigno is the privileged starting point for professionals and amateurs who want to reach the peaks of the Italian Alps that surround the Little Tibet. Of these, 22 in the area between Valtellina and Switzerland reach a height of over 3000 meters and 10 are those that have always been considered the most representative of Livigno:
Quite a difficult hike, just after the beginning you will find a steep climb towards the "Mot" mountain and then a ridge will follow with an exposed passage equipped with chains. Back on the trail, you abandon it once reached the "Bocchetta del Canton" , walking on the scree and a few rocks at the foot of the summit. The descent to Val Saliente is at times narrow and steep.

Continue the descent, which becomes easier only at Chese'ira dal Gras di Agne'i, then becomes a bridleway on path N119 to Pont da l'Al and then on to parking area P6 Tresge'nda.

Starting from parking area P10 La Forcola, take path N151 towards La Co'lma, the entrance to the Val da Fain on Swiss territory. To get there you ascend a wellmaintained trail that crosses a steep ridge where care must be taken not to dislodge rocks onto the road below. Once at La Co'lma, near a Swiss military outpost, the path N155 crosses to the opposite side and winds up a steep ridge. You come to the turnoff to the right that leads to the Lach dal Mont.

Physically difficult hike. You start by following the easy trail of the Val Federia, until you reach the Federia mountain hut. From there begins a climb that becomes increasingly demanding. You pass through the Corna dei Gessi, climbing up to intercept the main ridge on which the Italian-Swiss border runs. A little further on, the narrow southern ridge of Mount Cotschen, made up of rocks that are not difficult to climb. The return is on the same trail. | Alternative route: you can reach the top with the Carosello 3000 gondola, in that way you can shorten the excursion, for a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes from the Carosello peak to Piz Cotschen.

Start from parking area P6 La Tresge'nda: the first stretch is a paved bridleway up to Pont da l'Al. From here there is a dirt bridleway, path N119. The forest gives way to meadows and stony ground with the colours and scents of juniper and rhododendron. Arriving at Chese'iera da li Mina you continue for an undemanding short way to Chese'ira dal Gras di Agne'i and the adjacent Alpe Mine Refuge, which offers tasty fare. From here path N120 climbs and is more challenging up from the Camana di Ermelin where you gradually continue up the ridge line to the summit.
