Cima Sternai

Homepage
Cima Sternai
An Alpine climb within the Stelvio National Park. This is the highest summit of the Val Saent, the dividing point between the Val di Rabbi and the Val d’Ultimo.
One of the most classic climbs in the Ortles-Cevedale group. Good ascents all marked with cairns from Rifugio Saent Dorigoni («ometti di pietra», these are stones and rocks piled on top of each other for the purpose of orientation in the mountains). There are steel anchors and snap-hooks in the rocks for safety purposes. A degree of training and physical fitness are required for this climb but the spectacular panorama makes it all worthwhile.

Departure from the Coler car park in Val di Rabbi. The car park can be reaches by car or bus (16 seats). A shuttle bus leaves from the car park (there is a charge) and arrives at Malga Stablasolo (1.529m, this saves about a 30 minute walk). From here the SAT 106 to Doss della Croce (1.796m) Prà di Saent and finally to Rifugio Saent «S. Dorigoni» (2.436m).

From here a climb to Lago Sternai where there are the cairns to direct you around the Sternai lakes. Once you arrive in proximity to the crossroads indicated by a large larchwood sign (2.700m) proceed along following the stone cairns until reaching Cima Sternai (3.443m). The summit of Sternai, especially after the end of July requires the use of crampons. Rope and harness are also indispensable to ensure anchorage to the steel hooks already fixed to the rocks.
