Overview
The Corno Nero (4321 m) is a steep, rocky peak of the Monte Rosa massif, nestled between Colle Vincent and Colle Zurbriggen. It is the highest peak in the Monte Rosa group located entirely within Italian territory, offering spectacular views of the eastern face towards Punta Parrot. This is an exciting and challenging climb that involves a variety of mountaineering techniques.
Season: from June to September
Programme
We will meet in front of the lift ticket office around 07:30, check our gear, and take the cable cars to reach Punta Indren. We cross the glacier and the stony ground to the Mantova Refuge, then continue on the glacier to the Gnifetti Refuge. Roped together, we head towards Colle del Lys and then Colle Vincent, from where we detour towards the Corno Nero. Passing near the Balmenhorn, we reach Colle Zurbriggen below the summit, and then climb up the slope of the Corno Nero (about 50°) to the small ridge near the summit's Madonna statue.
For the descent, we will make abseils from the ridge and then head down along the same route. Ascent duration: approximately 3 hours 30 minutes
