Description

Summit the Gran Paradiso with one of our mountain guides! The highest mountain in Italy (fully standing on italian territory) might be the perfect peak for ambitious ski mountaineers and splitboarders alike.

This peak is usually reached by starting uphill from the parking lot in Pont, having a break on day one in the Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele and summiting on day 2 at 4061m.

The views reach well into the Mont Blanc area or the Ligurian sea, as well as the last section that leads to the summit requires surefootedness and ideally rope/quickdraws/ice axe and crampons.

The summit picture with the iconic "madonna" statue is one not to be missed! A long and strenuous ski mountaineering ascent that will refine your skiing or uphill skills and blends in amazing views over the peaks of the Valsavarenche.
