- Description
-
Though not always easy, the steep ascent through cembra pines and larches to Tignousa’s high mountain restaurant offers tremendous rewards: a panoramic view of the five summits over 4000 meters called the Imperial Crown.
- Directions

Behind the House of the Bourgeoisie, the itinerary is the same as the one that leads to Chandolin. After 15 minutes of walking time, this route leaves the Fortuna path. Follow Prosper’s path in the forest to Tignousa.
