We completed the garland of three-thousanders around Sestriere with Monte Rognosa, which is actually the house mountain of Sestriere. We parked at one of the numerous parking lots in the town, which are free at this time of year. Sentiero dei Rododendri led us straight into the little valley and ended at Lake Chisonetto. It's a small but very beautiful lake in a pure alpine setting. Behind the lake the path went steeply uphill, the steepness didn't ease up until the summit ridge just above 3000 meters. Despite the good forecast, it got very cloudy on this section of the path, at the same time a strong icy wind started blowing. From the ridge the summit seemed very close, but the ascent via switchbacks dragged on and on. Due to the cold we quickly started descending, first 15 minutes on the same path, then continued along the ridge. The little path along it isn't marked, but it can be followed without major problems. This way we descended to Passo San Giacomo, from where a crumbly ascent to Monte Querellet followed. We followed the ridge further to Monte Sises, where a nice view of Sestriere with all the ski slopes opened up. Since it even started drizzling lightly here, we quickly descended back to the car via the ski slope.
