Spectacular mountaineering ridge in the Monte Rosa massif reaching 4000 m of altitude!
It is a high mountain ridge to be covered on mixed terrain (roccia e neve) and which allows you to reach the summit of Punta Giordani (4046 m). For the fastest and fittest people, after the photo shot at the summit of Giordani peak, it will then be possible to continue the ridge up to the Piramide Vincent at 4125 m!
The difficulty on rock is up to grade III, but must be climbed with mountaineering boots and, sometimes, with crampons on your feet. Although this is an affordable climb for many, you need a minimum amount of experience walking on mixed terrain with crampons and ice axe and a fair amount of physical training.
This climb is an exciting route conducted along the edge of the ridge, immersed in a majestic context that only Monte Rosa can offer.
