If thin air and mountaineering are your summer goals, the climb to the Giordani is the right trip for you!
Punta Giordani 4046 m is the first peak to confront when you choose to approach to high mountain; there are no technical difficulties but fairly sustained and continuous slopes with a short final rush to reach the rocks of the summit; you will understand with this balanced trip if mountaineering is suitable for you.
Punta Giordani is the southern 4000 of the Monte Rosa massif and from its top the view of the south face of Monte Rosa is stunning!
