From Tranquilla area in Oltrefiume hamlet, near the campsite, take the road in front of the old wash house and follow the footpath in the woods, which leads to the top of Monte Camoscio (890m). Just below the top, there is the mountain hut “Rifugio A.N.A. Papà Amilcare” (890 m).
From here you may also reach Mottarone.
After the mountain hut, go downhill to the mountain pasture “Alpe Vedabia” (879 m). Out from the little depression, follow the old dirt road. In the proximity of the abandoned quarry, a steep footpath on the left leads shortly to the top of Monte Zughero (1230 m). From the top, with a short descent, reach the mountain hut “Gran Baita” of the Baveno CAI (1204 m). Then, following the trail markers, you will reach the top of the Mottarone (1492 m).
Difficulty level: E – Hiking time: 4h15′ (Mottarone)
