4,000 Meters Trekking Summits in the Monte- Rosa Group. About The 4,000 meters trekking summits in the Monte- Rosa group. A one week trekking and climbing on the glaciated plateau of the Monte Rosa Group; an activity planed for people with hill walking/trekking experience- no previous mountaineering knowledge is required. About the activity During one week, we will guide you on the glaciated plateau of the Monte Rosa Group, on the border between Italy and Switzerland. The high summits- in the region- are especially accessible due to the high elevation of the huts and the flat, long glaciers. The climbing is straight forward and for the most part, not technically demanding- so also people that are making their first steps in alpinism can enjoy it. A 3 days Montblanc ascent is offered for those of you who would like to make use of the knowledge and the acclimatization acquired during the week. Required fitness level & difficulty: A physically demanding activity- a good/very good level of physical fitness is required (B/C) as we will be climbing some days up to 1300 meters with 10-kg (about 20 Lbs) rucksacks; no previous experience in snow/ice or rock is required; a previous experience in trekking or hill walking and scrambling is an advantage. More about Mountains fitness and technical level definitions here. The activity includes: • Snow and ice gear intro • How to deal with ropes, harnesses, crampons and ice axes • The right technique to walk in snow and ice • Self-arrest techniques • Basic experience in climbing short sections of moderately steep ice • Glacier travel Timetable * The mentioned timetable is exemplary and may vary due to conditions, ability of the participants, safety & weather limitations. Day 1- we will meet at 17:00 in Argentiere- at hotel Les Randonneurs for an opening briefing and a gear check. Hotel Les Randonneurs Addressee: 39, Route du Plangolet, Argentiere, 74400 Chamonix Montblanc, France Website: http://www.lesrandonneurs.fr/ Day 2- Today we will travel to Valsavarenche in the Italian Aosta valley, after the obligatory Italian coffee in Villanueva we will walk together to the Chabod hut (A private hut at 2700 meters) to start our acclimatization process. After settling- in, we will learn how to put on our harnesses and crampons and will do a short round on the rocks around the hut with our mountaineering boots, gaining confidence. (1000 meters elevation gain to the hut, about 3-4 hours walking) Day 3- After Breakfast we will pack our bags with our snow and ice gear and head up to the Montadayne glacier. There we will practice walking on snow and ice and the correct usage of ice exe and crampons. Before descending back to the hut, we will learn how to arrest a fall on a snowy slope. It is an essential day that serves our acclimatization efforts (450 meters elevation gain, about 3-4 hours walk) Day 4- An early start and off we go to climb our first alpine summit- The Gran Paradisso- the only “completely Italian” 4000er- learning by doing we will find the right way to use our energy- efficient glacier travel speed on the way to one of the Alp’s most beautiful summits. After a break in the hut we will descent down to the valley and drive via Aosta to the picturesque Gressoney valley (1,100 m elevation ascent and descent, about 10 hours walking round trip). Day 5- Via Gressoney lift systems we will climb to the Gnifetty hut at 3650 m, after a short break in the hut we can head up to climb the Vincent Pyramid at 4,215 m (1,000 meters elevation gain, about 4.5 hours ascent) Day 6- We will cross today the Monte Rosa Plateau in a long glacier walk which leads us to the highest hut in the Alps- Capanna Marghaeritta- the hut is located exactly on the summit of the Signalkuppe at 4,554 m; after descending from the hut, a short glacier traverse towards the Grenz glacier takes us to the Zumsteispitze at 4,563m- two major summits in one day! (1,100 meters elevation, about 5 hour’s ascent) Day 7- We will check out from the hut after breakfast and as we descent back down to Gressoney- we can see the Punta Giordanni looming above us at 4046 m. a 4 hour “detour” brings us to the top of the last summit planed for the week! (550 meters elevation gain, about 3 hours ascent) Descending back to the valley we will drive back to Chamonix where the activity draws to an end For the “Monte Rosa” participants we offer a short version of a 3 day Montblanc program*: Day 8- ascent to the Tete Rousse hut.

  • Vincent Pyramid: the Death of a Glacier
    Home / Water / Specials Vincent Pyramid: the death of a glacier The melting of glaciers narrated by a mountaineer On Sunday, 12 July 2015, while northern Italy is gasping for air and the heat seems to be overwhelming even my home town of Biella, the alarm rings at 4:30 am. A long car drive along deserted trunk roads - the only encounter being the usual fox at Borgofranco d'Ivrea - leads us to Stafal, the ancient village ... excuse me, the enormous car park... serving the sky lifts at the end of the Lys Valley. What Frachey and Saint-Jacques, in the contiguous Ayas, would presumably become if the surreal plan of a cable car connection in the protected area of the Cime Bianche were ever to be implemented! We ascend in front of what was once the Indren snowfield: a huge glacial basin, now covered by a snowfield that since 2003 is fighting for its very survival, feeding vast streams of melted snow. This is the third week in a row which sees us set foot on the glaciers, headed for the high altitudes: and it is unfortunately the third week in a row of intolerable heat, with freezing point initially set at 4800 metres, then 4400, today 4200. To then return between Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 July to 4900 metres. So, the point of this story is very simple: inform, disseminate, "spread" by word of mouth and especially images, the news of the illness of the great glacier. It is just below the Gnifetti Shelter, easily reached via the "rocks" with anchoring equipment, that I notice something very unnatural in the snow cover.
