Itinerary

We'll meet in the late morning at the Staffal Telecabine in Aosta Valley, Italy. After checking our mountaineering equipment and packing the backpacks, we'll ascend to Punta Indren (3,275m) via cable car. From there, we'll enjoy a one-hour hike to either Rifugio Mantova (3,498m) or Capanna Gnifetti (3,647m), depending on availability. In the afternoon, we'll take part in a basic mountaineering course covering essential techniques and glacier safety procedures near the refuge. We'll conclude the day with dinner and an overnight stay at the same refuge.
We'll start the day with an early breakfast at 3 a.m. and begin our ascent to Punta Gnifetti (4,554m). Depending on the weather and mountain conditions, we may opt for alternative climbs, such as Piramide Vincent (4,215m) or other nearby peaks. After reaching the summit and taking a well-deserved break at the refuge, we'll make our descent. In the early afternoon, we'll return to the car parking area via the cable car, energized and excited for our next adventure – perhaps even a more advanced climb, like the nearby Mont Blanc in the next days. Either way, we'll part ways with cherished memories of an incredible experience.

Accomodations

Capanna Gnifetti or Mantova Refuge


Depending on the availability of the refuges, we will stay at one of the two key hubs for mountaineers in the area: The Capanna Gnifetti (3,647 m) is a historic refuge on Monte Rosa, serving as a starting point for ascents to Punta Gnifetti and Capanna Margherita. It offers basic accommodations and spectacular views. The Rifugio Mantova (3,498 m) is a modern and welcoming structure, ideal for acclimatization before tackling more challenging climbs. Both refuges are perfect bases for exploring the peaks and glaciers of Monte Rosa.
