Looking at the recent panorama from Monte Rinalpi I have thought of this old view, and I try to publish it, although you can see that it is not blessed by a particularly generous weather.
I have found surprising to see that such a popular all-season summit is not yet rewarded by any Alpen-Panorama.
A good reason to climb Pizzo Dosdé is the beauty of the nearby Alpe of the same name, with the very hospitable Rifugio Federico, set in an enchanting position. After the Pizzo I traversed to the Cima di Lago Spalmo, from which I descended in the pictoresque Valle d'Avedo, full of mountain lakes, not only the carefully hidden Lago Spalmo (giving the name to the quoted summit), but especially the incredible Lago Negro, which I found still heavily glaciated (www.panoramio.com/photo/71182127). By traversing Passo Dosdé it is then possible to close a wonderful one-day loop. In so doing, one gets a close view the once glorious north couloir of Cima Viola, one of the 80 walls described in the famous book by Erich Vanis, "Im steilen Eis" (Italian translation: Cento pareti di ghiaccio delle Alpi). Alas, nowadays here very little remains in terms of "steep ice".
The very strange way by which I arrived to the Dosdé region is too long to describe; it can be guessed from picasaweb.google.com/albertopedrotti/Passacaglia - map at the end.
