In reply to FockeWulf:
I've only been up Emilius by a rather circuitous but scenic route from Grauson on the Cogne side, and that was half a century ago. But my memory of the climb to Emilius itself is only of a steepish bouldery walk/scramble with fantastic views from the top. There's a reasonable amount of info on Google, though I agree it's not entirely easy to assemble into a coherent picture.
The normal route goes up the south ridge from the Passi Tre Cappucini, usually accessed from the top of the Pila lifts over the Colle di Chamole into the Arbole cwm. You have the option of staying overnight at the refuge by the Lago d'Arbole. I gather the via ferrata goes up the west ridge and is best accessed from the bivvy hut on the Colle Carrel on the NW spur, so you don't need to go that way. One source says it's closed for maintenance just now anyway. My dim recollection is that the south ridge is just a steep scraggy boulder-and-scree crest, mildly exposed in places.
Let's hope somebody with recent experience will be along shortly to give you more better-quality info. I'd recommend Emilius for its superb panoramic views so worth waiting for a fine day to do it. Best of luck.
