The golden Alp is on a natural balcony at 2000 m. From the Golden Alp the panorama becomes wider to the tops of Ventina and Sissone valleys, Pizzo Cassandra and the whole group of Disgrazia. The return can be done following the same itinerary of ascent or with a marvellous crossing, warmly recommended.
