Programme
Day 1:
We meet at the departure point of the Staffal lifts at 14:30 for a gear check. Taking the lifts, we reach Punta Indren (3270 m), where we begin our walk which brings us in about an hour to the Capanna Gnifetti/Mantova Refuge (Rifugio Città di Mantova - 3498 m). Here we have dinner and spend the night.
Day 2:
At sunrise, we begin our traverse: first we ascend to Vincent Pyramid (4215 m), then to the Christ of the Peaks (Balmenhorn - 4167 m) and subsequently to the Ludwigshöhe (4342 m), until we reach Capanna Margherita, the highest refuge in Europe, at 4554 m. Dinner and overnight stay at the summit.
Day 3:
After breakfast, we climb to Punta Zumstein (4561 m), the third highest peak of Monte Rosa. From here, we begin a long descent along the Grenz Glacier to Rotenboden (2815 m). We take the Gornergrat cog railway down to Zermatt, then ascend again with the lifts to the Klein Matterhorn (3883 m) and descend to the Teodulo Refuge (3017 m), where we enjoy dinner and overnight accommodation with views of the Matterhorn.
Day 4:
Starting from the Teodulo Refuge, we begin our day by climbing to the Breithorn Pass. We pass under the south faces of the Breithorn and Pollux, before tackling the west face of Castor to reach its summit (4226 m). After a well-deserved rest, we descend to the Quintino Sella Refuge (3585 m) to relax. From here, we continue towards the Bettaforca Pass and return to Gressoney.
The itinerary can be extended with ascents of the Breithorn and Pollux (available at an additional cost).
