The Regina Margherita hut (4,554m) in the Alps of Italy, atop the Punta Gnifetti is famous for a variety of reasons. Not only is the hut named after an Italian Queen, Margherita of Savoy, but it is also the highest building in all of Europe!
With a building having so many accolades, it would be difficult to see it living it up to them. However, in the case of the Margherita hut, it absolutely does. The views from this small, yet famous building are stupendous. You will have the chance to see valleys and glaciers below, as well as beautiful peaks all around, including Mont Blanc (4,810m).
On this 2 day trip, we will take an easy route from the ski lifts of Alagna. After the ski lift ride to the Indren glacier (3,275m), we will walk to the Mantua refuge (3,498m) where we will spend the night. On the next day, we will make the 1000 metre journey to the Margherita hut. The exciting, scenic trek will include passing through, or near, the Lys glacier and the Grenz glacier. Finally, with Parta Parta on the right hand side, we will head up the last, steep slope until we reach the hut.
Once we reach the hut, you will be given plenty of time to admire and appreciate the undeniable views. Afterwards, we will make our way down the same way we ascended.
The Margherita hut is a special place. And it would be my pleasure to guide you to it, so you can see and feel just how special it really is. If you’re interested, please send me a request.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
