Overview

The Josè Angster via ferrata ascends the majestic Tschachelaz rock face in Gressoney St Jean, covering a vertical rise of about 270 metres, and is considered of moderate difficulty. It features a slightly more challenging overhanging section and widely spaced steps.

Period: From May to September

Programme

We meet by the beautiful Gover lake in Gressoney St Jean for a quick gear check. Following the Queen Margherita path 4a, we take a detour to reach the start of the via ferrata. Please allow about 30 minutes for the scenic approach before starting the climb. The route of the via ferrata unfolds over thrilling exposed sections, with widely spaced steps and some exciting overhanging passages. Reaching the summit at an altitude of 1750 m, you will be rewarded with a wonderful view over the valley. We then head down the trail to return to the village, anticipating a pleasant 2-hour descent, which may vary depending on your pace.

What to know before you set off

Mountaineering is by its very nature an adventurous activity. The Monte Rosa guides, all of whom are UIAGM certified, are dedicated to doing everything possible to minimise any hazards, but a element of risk is always present and should be embraced as part of the adventure before signing up for our activities.

The Monte Rosa Guides will always do their utmost to help you achieve your personal goals and ensure you have the best possible experience in nature. However, you must agree to trust their professional judgement whilst in the mountains and respect any decision they make, including turning back, should it be deemed necessary. Being well-prepared and maintaining a good level of physical fitness is essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey on all our excursions. If, due to fitness levels or any other reason, your guide feels you are not quite ready for your chosen activity, they will happily suggest alternative adventures beautifully suited to your current level of preparation.
