Gran Paradiso

The classic first 4000er. Two days of glacier and a final ridge up to the summit Madonna.

A classic and rewarding climb, ideal as a first step into the 4000ers. On day one we hike to the hut, on day two we leave at dawn for the summit.

Itinerary

Day 1 — Hike to the Vittorio Emanuele II hut, refresher on glacier travel techniques.

Day 2 — Summit climb (4061 m) and descent to the valley.

Good fitness for 1300–1500 m of elevation gain. Previous crampon experience is helpful but not required.

The most accessible 4000er in the Alps, from Cervinia. A day to taste high altitude with Matterhorn views.

A day on Europe’s most famous frozen waterfalls in the Cogne valley. For beginners and for those who want to step up.

From single-pitch basics to your first multi-pitch routes. A path towards autonomy.
