Overview
Have you realised that mountaineering is for you but don't know where to start?
Choose the mountaineering course at Monte Rosa's Vincent Pyramid! Let yourself be tempted by your first 4000-metre peak. We will take you to look down on the valleys of Monte Rosa from above, so high that your gaze will stretch as far as the Maritime Alps and Mont Blanc. An ascent to an important but accessible 4000-meter peak, where we will learn how to rope up, use crampons and prepare for more challenging climbs.
Period: From June to September
Programme
FIRST DAY:
We meet at 14:30 at the lift ticket office in Staffal for a gear check. Afterwards, we take the lifts up to Punta Indren (3270 m) and continue on foot from there to the Rifugio Città di Mantova (3498 m), reaching it in about an hour's walk. Dinner and overnight stay.
SECOND DAY:
We set off at dawn to climb the Vincent Pyramid (4215 m). During the hike, we'll focus on a practical introduction to mountaineering: covering equipment, glacier walking techniques, and mountain safety.
A wonderful first taste of the high-altitude world, perfectly suited for those taking their very first steps in the mountains.
Duration of the ascent from Rifugio Città di Mantova: approximately 3 hours
Ascent elevation gain: approximately 700 m
