Description
The Pennine Alps are crowned by an astonishing massif known as Monte Rosa, surrounded by several snowy peaks. One of them, Punta Giordani (4046m), is the lower of the 4000 m peaks and therefore, ideal for beginners.
It is located just above the top station of Punta Indren, our stop with the cable car. Afterwards, we will walk along the neverending whiteness of the Indren glacier while admiring its eternal snows, taking pictures and resting for a bit.
The few final meters will be on rock, but do not worry: it will be easier than it will look! Before you know it, you will be standing next to the Madonnina (the virgin Mary statue), at the top of the mountain.
As we said before, beginners should try this challenge. It will not be as difficult as a 4000 m peak should be, but it will not be easy either! Book this trip now and get to experience it.
I also offer other programs in the area, in case you are interested. For example, you could try this ascent to Dufourspitze, the highest peak in Switzerland.

Mountain Guide
Strange to say, I began my climbing career after I left behind my valley and my own mountains.
When I finished high school I moved to Turin, in order to get a mechanical engineer degree.
There I started to climb on a little indoor wall at the University Sport Centre and, very soon, I found myself dreaming on the greatest alps walls. I lived adventures made of fun, fatigue and satisfaction, I shared them with many friends who became climbing partners as well.
In Turin I got my degree and I worked for some years as a mechanical engineer consultant but, more than that, I discovered a new way to live and look at the mountains: sometimes they became playgrounds with attractions for everyone, sometimes a shelter, where to find myself again.
Meanwhile, an idea started to grow inside me and became a dream; a dream I would never give up: working in an office as big as the alps!
Making the long story short, I applied for the mountain guide training, had a huge professional development and became a UIAGM mountain guide.
Now I’m working full-time as a mountain guide, sharing my passion with a lot of different people on the Alps, since I'm based in the Monte Rosa area, but also around the world.

Paolo was truly an excellent guide. Phenomenal knowledge of the backcountry, excellent pacing on the climbs and downhills. Paolo was able to find some good snow in a year where there has not been much snow.
