Normal route to this peak
Ski Touring Moderate
The normal route for Punta Giordani is one of the most climbed lines here. It's quite easy and it offers an amazing view across the whole of Monte Rosa. Furthermore, the ski descent is often excellent! From Indren head directly to Punta Giordani.
Although this seems an easy part that can be done with skins be aware that you're on a glacier! Crevasses could be open and you need to cross some. So technical skills and equipment are required. Be sure to pack your ice axe, crampons, rope, harness, ice screws, shovel, probe and beacon!
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
