Description
For 6 amazing days, I would like to guide you on a ski mountaineering expedition to no less than 9 incredible summits in the Italian Alps on the Monte Rosa Massif!
Beginning in Gressoney, our adventure will take you to several different summits each day of the 6 day trip. And all of those summits are part of the Alps’ 82, 4,000 meter plus peaks.
The summits you will be scaling include the Vincent Pyramid (4,215m), the Punta Giordani (4,046m), Ludwigshohe (4,341m), Parrot Peak (4,432m) and Blackhorn (4,321m). You will also be scaling the Balmenhorn (4,167m), Signal Group (4,554m), Zumstein peak (4,563m) and the famed Gran Paradiso (4,061m).
Each one of the peaks you will be climbing on this trip offers their own set of unbelievable views. They also offer some incredible descents as well, which you will get to enjoy to your hearts content.
During this trip, you will be staying in several high altitude mountain huts. Those huts include the Gnifetti hut, the Mantova hut and the renowned Margherita hut, which is the highest hut in all of Europe. Each hut, like the peaks you will be enjoying, offer spectacular views, along with a comfortable place to relax and rest. Hence preparing for the following day’s adventure.
To participate on this trip, you should be in good physical condition. You should also have prior ski mountaineering experience as well.
To scale 9 peaks in 6 days, on skis, is the kind of experience you will never forget. To enjoy it for yourself, just send me a request.
I can also take you on a 5-day ski mountaineering trip around Saas-Fee, in the Swiss Alps.
