Experiencing true high-mountain ski mountaineering at Punta Giordani, one of the iconic 4000-meter peaks of Monte Rosa, is an unmissable adventure. From the summit, you will be surrounded by the beauty of the skiable peaks of the Alps, making it an ideal starting point for planning new adventures. Starting from the Punta Indren station at 3275 meters, you’ll immediately put on your skis with skins. The vast slope will unfold before you, with an increasing gradient up to 3800 meters, before becoming gentler. As you ascend, the views will expand, allowing you to forget the fatigue and fill you with wonder.
Whether it's your first time tackling a 4000-meter peak or you’ve been here before, the atmosphere at this altitude will be magical, and each breath will feel unique. At 4000 meters, after removing your skis, a short ascent will take you to one of the most spectacular viewpoints of Monte Rosa, where your gaze will stretch out to Lake Garda. The descent will be an exciting moment: initially, we will seek out the best snow to descend to 3300 meters. After that, we’ll decide whether to ski down the Alagna side, crossing the Bors glacier and the famous Valsesia channels, or the Gressoney side, passing through the Canale dell’Aquila, Canal Grande, Stolemberg, or Colle della Salza.
Each turn will require precision and control, but this will be the key to experiencing an unforgettable adventure. Spectacular landscapes and dream descents await the most passionate skiers.

Suspended between two dizzying walls, aerial and elegant, the Lyskamm traverse is one of the great classics mountaineering experience on Monte Rosa. A piece of history on your bucket list.
Known for being one of the most technical traverses in the Alps, it connects the two main peaks of Lyskamm: the east summit (4,533 meters) and the west summit (4,479 meters). Advanced skills in ice and rock climbing are required, along with good physical endurance.
Pyramid Vincent (4000m) was climbed by the mining engineer Jean-Nicolas Vincent for the first time back in 1819, and from whom the peak takes its name, can be reached with an easy hike on the Lys glacier.
The Pyramid Vincent dominates the three Italian valleys of Monte Rosa: Val Sesia, Valle del Lys and Val d’Ayas and the view extends from Mont Blanc to the Maritime Alps.
The statue Cristo delle Vette in Balmenhorn (4161 m) is an imposing piece of artwork by the Turin sculptor Alfredo Bai, a partisan during the Second World War, who wanted the statue of Christ the Redeemer as a votive offering for having returned alive from the war.
Breithorn is the westernmost peak above 4,000m in the Monte Rosa chain seen from Italy and is undoubtedly one of the most suitable peaks for those who are starting out with mountaineering. Thanks to the Cervinia ski lifts, the height difference to reach the summit is limited and the ascent can easily be done in a day making your ascent a total immersion in the Matterhorn environment giving you an absolute first-class view.
