Description
From the hut the least steep route is to follow the steps up, past a small outbuilding, then down onto the glacier on the Monte Rosa side of the hut.
Head E then descend on steepening glacier, but never more than 25 degrees, easier if it is snow covered.
This leads you off the glacier and onto a footpath leading to the Mantova Hut at 3500m.
Below here the path heads E, through a steep rocky barrier and onto the Indren Glacier, which may well be only icy rubble, with a few obvious crevasses.
Head SE then S to the top station of the Punta Indren lift, about an hour from the hut.
