Pizzo di Cadrèigh is a classic ski tour, especially in early winter. It is often undertaken by beginners or ski touring classes, as it is practically free of difficulties. From Capanna Bovarina one ascends the wide Val di Campo valley, which has a consistently gentle inclination. At its end is Passo di Gana Negra. From there a steeper last stretch goes up to the secondary summit (2516 m), which in winter is preferred to the main summit (2511 m).
