Description
Description
Scale the majestic Gran Paradiso, Italy's highest peak, in a 2-day climb led by experienced IFMGA guides!
The Gran Paradiso (4,061m) is one of the highest peaks in the Italian Graian Alps and the only mountain over 4000 meters that has the entirety of its summit within Italy. The peak is located in the Gran Paradiso National Park, one of the best-known parks in Italy, founded in 1922 to safeguard the biodiversity of one of the wildest areas in Italy.
While the Gran Paradiso offers stunning vistas from any vantage point, the summit experience is truly unparalleled. Here, you'll not only witness the vastness of the Alps, but also clearly see the iconic Mont Blanc (4,810m) standing tall. This panoramic perspective is a testament to the mountain's grandeur and a reward for your challenging climb.
The Gran Paradiso is considered one of the easiest of the Alps' 4000 meter peaks to climb. However, some mountaineering experience is needed because the final ascent has some rocky terrain and the recent changes in the glacier morphology require very good confidence in using crampons on an iced and very steep itinerary.
On day 1 we will spend 2 to 3 hours walking up to the Chabod Hut (2,710). On day 2 we will make the exciting climb to the summit of this beautiful mountain before making our way back down. The climbing time should take between 8 to 10 hours, including the descent.
The Gran Paradiso is a magnificent mountain. And because of the relative ease that comes with climbing it, its magnificence is readily accessible. Please send us a message if you want to summit this amazing peak!
We also offer a 2 day climb of Mont Velan located on the border between Italy and Switzerland.

Itinerary
Day 1: Chabod Hut
From the Pravieux Valsavarenche parking lot (1,830 m), we follow the path in the woods that make our way into the valley and lead to the Chabod Hut. During the walk, we enjoy the wildlife of Gran Paradiso National Park.

Day 2: Gran Paradiso summit
At 3 a.m. we wake up and take the Normal Route from the Chabod Hut (2,710 m), following a moraine ridge up to the Laveciau Glacier (3,200m). At the distinctive “Schiena d’Asino” (Donkey’s Back) we take a short break, then ascend the col of the Becca di Moncorvé and continue towards the bergschrund. A brief but demanding final ridge is all that separates us from the statue-clad summit.

We just remember now the breathing, the view and the joy we had in Gran Paradiso accompanied by our guides Silvia and Elis. This kind of memory makes us smile and look for the next adventure. Silvia and Elis were attentive, kind and professionally fully prepared to help us reach a great experience of discovery and safety. For sure the moment would not be the same without our guides. We feel grateful and lucky to have their support and company. Elis, Silvia, thanks for taking us beyond.

The guided tour (fitness level and experience) does not fit the description on explore-share.com. The guide was very in hurry for both ascent and descent and he was on phone call most of the time.

Peaks Hunters were brilliant from the point of first contact. They took care of every last detail from planning the trip to providing all the mountaineering equipment. On the mountain our guides were amazing. Positive, confident, good company and with safety always at the fore front. They set the pace and made sure as many of our group as possible hit the summit. Thank you so much to the Silvia, Elis and the team. Will definitely be using you again
