THE PROGRAM:

A fascinating realm of glaciers and snow, and certainly one of the best easy ski mountaineering of the Alps: especially suited to all wildlife passionates! You can climb to Gran Paradiso’s summit from two different starting points: Federico Chabod Hut or Vittorio Emanuele II Hut. Both huts can be reached from Pont Valsavaranche on an easy itinerary in a beautiful natural environment.

Gran Paradiso ski mountaineering ASCENT DAY BY DAY

Difference in altitude: 815 m
Ascent time: 2 hours
Meeting point: Pont Valsavarenche parking area, close to Hotel Gran Paradiso, for equipment check and a short briefing with the Guide

From the Pont Valsavarenche parking lot (1,960 m), we follow the path in the Woods that crosses the Savare torrent and make our way into the valley. On the left, we take the steep trail that winds up the mountain and leads to the Vittorio Emanuele II Hut.

We exit the woods and travel east across the vast moraine hummocks, beyond which we enjoy a view onto the north faces of the Ciarforon (3,642 m) and the Becca di Monciair (3,544 m). A few more steps, and we’ll be at the Vittorio Emanuele II Hut (2,775 m).

Difference in altitude: 1,300 m
Ascent/Descent time: 10-11 hours

The normal route from the Vittorio Emanuele II Hut (2,735 m) begins on a moraine of large stone blocks, then turns into a narrow valley framed by lateral moraines, and finally heads up an evenly-sloped glacier. At the distinctive “Schiena d’Asino” (Donkey’s Back) we take a short break, then ascend the col of the Becca di Moncorvé and continue towards the bergschrund. A brief but demanding final ridge is all that separates us from the statue-clad summit.

The ascent from the Federico Chabod Hut (2.750 m) begins on the moraine then continues up across the Laveciau Glacier. When it reaches the Schiena d’Asino, this route joins the one from the Vittorio Emanuele II Hut. The descent is via the same route.
