Difference in altitude: 1,300 m
Ascent/Descent time: 10-11 hours
The Normal Route from the Chabod Hut (2,710 m) begins on the right, following a moraine ridge up to the Laveciau Glacier (3,200m). 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.
