Overview
An evocative high-altitude crossing that traces the base of the Lyskamm group in a truly breathtaking mountain environment. This historical route of the Trofeo Mezzalama ski mountaineering race clean cuts through the Monte Rosa skyline, offering a privileged view of the Felik and Lys glaciers.
Please note: the Lyskamm crossing is intended for experienced mountaineers. Before accepting the climb, our guides will ask for your climbing resume and, if necessary, suggest a warm-up climb to assess your skills and preparation.
As this type of ascent requires stable weather and excellent conditions, it is only possible to set an indicative date, which must then be confirmed in the preceding days. We are unable to offer a package rate including ski lifts and mountain huts for this climb, as these will need to be booked closer to the date once conditions have been evaluated.
Period: From June to September
Programme
Day 1:
We will meet at 14:30 at the Staffal ski lift ticket office for a gear check and a briefing on the climb.
Together, we will take the lifts up to Colle della Bettaforca (2700 m), from where we begin our hike towards the Quintino Sella Hut (3585 m).
The trail takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes, leading us to one of the most scenic mountain huts in the Monte Rosa massif. Upon arrival, we will settle in for dinner and our overnight stay.
Day 2:
At dawn, we rope up and set off for the traverse of the Lyskamm Nose, one of the most beautiful routes in the Monte Rosa group.
The ascent will take about 5 hours, crossing mixed terrain (max 40°) and magnificent glacier sections, reaching the Città di Mantova Hut (3498 m).
From there, we descend to Punta Indren and return by ski lifts to Staffal, with an expected arrival time around 16:30.
