Climb the highest peak in the Gran Paradiso National Park
Gran Paradiso is the only 4,000-meter mountain entirely in Italian territory, located within Gran Paradiso National Park. It is an ideal mountain for beginners, with its beautiful rocky peak and pristine, towering glaciers.
On Day 1, we will meet at the parking lot in Val Savaranche and trek to the refuge in 3/4 hours. The next morning, we will climb Gran Paradiso from the Chabod hut, a welcoming place to stay before our thrilling climb with comfortable accommodations, meals, and a friendly atmosphere.
After a pleasant evening at the refuge, we will set out for the summit the next morning. The climb to Gran Paradiso will begin with atrek through the forest. As we ascend, the trees begin to thin out, and you emerge into a vast meadow as we start to see the glaciers that lead to the summit.
The final section of the climb is a steep rocky slope. As we carefully make our way up the slope, the summit will draw closer and closer. Finally, when we reach the summit of Gran Paradiso, we'll feel like we're standing on top of the world, with breathtaking views in all directions.
On the descent, we will take a different route to the Vittorio Emanuele refuge, where we will spend the night. After dinner, we will reflect on our climb and share stories with our fellow climbers.

A very interesting tour of Piz Bernina with a mixture of snow/glacier and rock climbing. Definitely not easy though and requires a good head for heights. Renzo is a very good guide and has an excellent knowledge of the area and the climbing sections. As a result, we were able to quickly climb the final section from the hut and had the summit all to ourselves.

Snow and weather conditions were poor to say the least, but Renzo was a top guide and the tour we did was a good adventure!

Renzo was a lovely guide. We had a good day out and he was experienced. We would have liked a more calm pace though, some time to sit down, have a snack or a lunch in the fantastic environment. The pace was a bit fast for that.
