Salita al Monte Grum - Demonte
Il Monte Grum con i suoi 2367 metri è la cima più alta tra quelle che separano il Vallone dell’Arma di San Giacomo di Demonte dalla Valle Grana.
La salita al Monte Grum non comporta grandi difficoltà se non quella di affrontare 1000 metri di dislivello, ma la fatica è pienamente ricompensata dal meraviglioso panorama, verso San Giacomo, sul bel laghetto di Bram e verso la Valle Grana sulla pianura cuneese.
Nelle giornate particolarmente terse, voltandosi verso la vicina cima del Monte Bram si riesce anche a scorgere la vetta del Monviso.
L'escursione al Monte Grum parte da San Giacomo di Demonte, dove s'imbocca la strada del Vallone di San Giacomo. Raggiunta la presa dell'Enel, dove si lascia l'auto inizia il percorso che risale la valle seguendo le indicazioni per il Bivacco Bernardi.
Le scelte per percorrere la prima parte dell'itinerario sono due: una più agevole, a sinistra, segue la strada asfaltata che diventa poi sterrata, mentre l'altra più breve, a sinistra, è una mulattiera che sale ripida tra boschi e prati segnalata da numerose tacche bianche e rosse.
Entrambi i percorsi arrivano al Gias della Sella a 1846 metri slm da dove parte il sentiero per il Bivacco Bernardi che attraversa ripido grandi pascoli fino a sbucare sul pianoro del Chiot Soubeyran, riconoscibile dalla presenza di ruderi di un gias.
Da qui una traccia indicata da tacche segnavie riprende la salita e diventa man mano più evidente fino a giungere alla conca che ospita il bel Lago di Bram, accanto al quale è stato costruito il Bivacco Roberta Bernardo.
Dopo una sosta si continua il sentiero che passa tra il lago ed il bivacco e che sale, sempre ben segnato da tacche, sulle pendici del Monte Grum.
Giunti sulla dorsale dove il panorama si allarga già dalle Alpi Liguri alle Alpi Cozie si segue il crinale verso sinistra e la cima de Lo Grumet. Continuando nella stessa direzione si arriva in breve alla cima del Monte Grum.
Il ritorno al sottostante Bivacco Bernardi può avvenire tornando sui propri passi o proseguendo verso il Monte Bram e da lì scendendo tra i prati e i rododentri fino a raggiungere la conca che ospita il Lago di Bram.
Da lì l'itinerario è lo stesso dell'andata.

Climbing Mount Grum - Demonte
Mount Grum with its 2367 meters is the highest peak that divides the Vallone dell’Arma of San Giacomo in Demonte from the Grana Valley.
The ascent to Mount Grum hasn't great difficulties other than to face 1000 meters in altitude, but the effort is fully rewarded by the marvelous panorama, towards San Giacomo, on the beautiful Bram lake and towards the Grana Valley on the Cuneo plain.
During particularly clear days, turning towards the nearby peak of Mount Bram you can even see the summit of Monviso.
The hike to Mount Grum starts from San Giacomo of Demonte, where you take the road to the Vallone of San Giacomo. Once you reach the Enel water inlets, where you can leave the car, you can take the path that goes up the valley following the signs for the Bernardi Bivouac.
There are two choices to follow the first part of the itinerary: an easier one on the left follows the paved road, while the other shorter one on the left is a mule track that climbs steeply between woods and meadows with numerous white and red notches.
Both routes reach the Gias della Sella at 1846 meters above sea level from where the path to the Bernardi Bivouac starts, crossing steep large pastures until it reaches the Chiot Soubeyran plateau, recognizable by the presence of the ruins of a gias.
From here a track indicated by notches takes up the ascent and becomes more and more evident until reaching the basin that hosts the beautiful Lake Bram, next to which the Roberta Bernardo Bivouac was built.
After a stop you can continue the itinerary that passes between the lake and the bivouac and rises, always well marked by notches, on the slopes of Monte Grum.
Once on the ridge where the panorama widens already from the Ligurian Alps to the Cottian Alps follow the ridge to the left and the Lo Grumet peak. Continuing in the same direction, you will soon reach the top of Mount Grum.
The return to the underlying Bivacco Bernardi can be made by retracing your steps or continuing towards Mount Bram and from there descending through the meadows and the rhododendrons until you reach the basin that hosts Lake Bram.
From there the itinerary is the same as the first leg.
