Programme

DAY ONE:

We meet at 2:30 pm at the lift ticket office in Staffal to check our gear together. We then take the lifts up to Colle della Bettaforca (2727 m) and begin our hike towards the Quintino Sella refuge (3585 m), which we reach in about 3 hours. Dinner and overnight stay at the refuge.

DAY TWO:

At dawn, we set off for an exciting day: we climb the Naso del Lyskamm (4272 m), then up to Balmenhorn (4467 m) and finally the Vincent Pyramid (4215 m). We then descend to the Città di Mantova refuge (3500 m) for dinner and a cosy overnight stay.

DAY THREE:

We make another early start today, ascending to the Capanna Margherita (4554 m) and the Zumsteinspitze (4563 m). Depending on how the group is feeling, we can add more wonderful peaks: the Parrotspitze (4435 m), the Ludwigshöhe (4342 m) and the Vincent Pyramid (Schwarzhorn) (4321 m). We return to Staffal in the afternoon

What to know before you set off

Mountaineering is by its very nature an adventurous activity. The Monte Rosa guides, all of whom are UIAGM certified, are dedicated to doing everything possible to minimise any hazards, but a element of risk is always present and should be embraced as part of the adventure before signing up for our activities.

The Monte Rosa Guides will always do their utmost to help you achieve your personal goals and ensure you have the best possible experience in nature. However, you must agree to trust their professional judgement whilst in the mountains and respect any decision they make, including turning back, should it be deemed necessary. Being well-prepared and maintaining a good level of physical fitness is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey on all our excursions. If, due to fitness levels or any other reason, your guide feels you are not quite ready for your chosen activity, they will happily suggest alternative adventures beautifully suited to your current level of preparation.
