The **Punta Gnifetti (4,554m)** is a gorgeous peak in the **Pennine Alps**. Also known as **Signalkuppe** in **German**, this wonderful peak, standing on the border between **Switzerland** and **Italy**, is park of the **Monte Rosa Massif**.

On this **2 day trip** you will not only get to enjoy the thrilling climb to **Punta Gnifetti's summit**. You will also get to enjoy an unrivalled view of the **Alps** from the famous **Regina Margherita refuge**. This amazing mountain hut, which sits at the summit of the peak, is the highest mountain hut in all of **Europe**. The hut, named after the **Italy's Queen consort**, **Marghertia of Savoy**, is truly incredible. Due to the altitude, the hut is also draped in sheet copper to ward off electrical fields.

On the **first day** of the trip, we will depart from **Gressoney** and spend **2 to 3 hours** hiking to the **Refuge Mantova (3,470m)**. On the **second day**, we will spend **8 to 9 hours** making our way up and then back down the **Punta Gnifetti**. When we reach the summit, you can rest assured that you will have ample time to enjoy the amazing view, as well as the unique experience of seeing it from the **Margherita hut**.

What makes this trip even more amazing is that the climb itself is not that difficult. That means even mountaineering **beginners** can participate and enjoy the wonder of **Punta Gnifetti** and the famous **Margherita hut** on its summit!

**If this sounds like something you want to spend 2 days doing in the Pennine Alps, send us a message, and let's make it happen.**

We also offer other **2-day, easy climbs** in the **Pennine Alps**, including [this adventure](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/vincent-pyramid-pennine-alps-2-day-guided-ascent/) to the summit of the **Vincent Pyramid**.

We take the cable car up to Punta Indren (3,270 m). From there, we proceed on foot either to the Mantova Hut (3,498 m), about an hour’s walk. Dinner and overnight stay at one of the huts.

Mantova Hut

We set off from Mantova hut after breakfast early in the morning. We put crampons on to climb up the glacier until we get close to the Vincent Pyramid and the Balmenhorn, then we reach the Lysjoch pass (4,250 m). A descending traverse under Parrotspitze takes us under the Signalkuppe; another traverse and a brief and steep final stretch lead us to the Margherita Hut, Europe’s highest building (4,554 m). We descend by the same route to the hut from which we set off, then take the lift down to the parking lot.

7-day mountaineering tour in Monte Rosa

This **7-day Monte Rosa mountaineering summer program** will take your breath away while you enjoy an amazing scenery!

I've design this program for you to go through all of **Monte Rosa massif** summits. Indeed, what I offer is a unique route that will go through this massif ridge connecting its peaks. So this program will take us above 4000 m for quite a bit of time. This means you'll need to be in good shape and ready for some effort.

This ridge route through **Monte Rosa** **massif** has become very popular because of its great diversity of sceneries and views. During the program that I've designed we'll go through all of these summits:

*   **Breithorn 4165 m.**
    
*   **Castor 4226 m.** 
    
*   **Lyskamm 4527 m.**
    
*   **Gnifetti 4554 m.**
    
*   **Zumsteinspitze 4563 m.**
    
*   **Dufour 4634 m.**
    

&nbsp;

But I'm also open to change the program if you wish too. Remember that the main goal is for you to live an unforgettable experience.

**So please let me know if you’re interested in this 7-day Monte Rosa mountaineering summer program. And please specify all your requests so I can make the proper arrangements!**
