Comments: easy to reach by car (60' from Torino) and 1h15 walk. Hike from frazione Comba of Celle [45°08'02.4"N 7°20'38.9"E 1071m] following one of several trails that go up. We picked "Tramontana", that is identified by blue signs. Relevant GPS waypoints: [45°08'12.5"N 7°20'41.1"E 1146m] [45°08'18.4"N 7°20'38.8"E 1200m]. Operated under a warm February Sun. The top is some 5x5 meters, and it was somewhat crowded. Probably better to operate from a peak on the right-hand side of the trail: less comfortable but less disturbing for other hikers.

GSM coverage: not checked.
