The Castore peak 4226 m<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Castore<\/strong> is an all-time classic ascent and one of the most famous of Mount Rosa\u2019s 4000mt peaks. <\/strong>Located at the head of the Ayas and Gressoney valleys, it marks the border between Valle d'Aosta and Valais. The ascent to Castore<\/a> is accessible to many and reaching it is made easier by the lifts, which take you up to the Bettaforca pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castore, as well as the nearby peak, Polluce are separated by the hill Verra. Due to the similar conformation of the two peaks, their names were inspired by the mythical Greek twins connected by brotherly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summit of the Castore peak was first reached on 23 August 1861 by William Mathews and Fredrick William Jacomb, accompanied by the great alpine guide Michel Croz<\/a> from Chamonix. The guides from Alagna and Gressoney<\/a> Alagna and Gressoney start the ascent to Castore from the r<\/strong>efug<\/strong>e Quintino Sella a<\/strong>t Felik<\/strong><\/a> across the long and narrow south-eastern ridge;climbing upwards, flanking Punta Perazzi, to reach the Felik pass at (4,061 m). The Felik pass separates Castore from Western Lyskamm and this is also the starting point of a partly aerial ridge, which is surrounded by a magnificent high mountain environment that leads you to the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the r<\/strong>efug<\/strong>e Quintino Sella<\/strong><\/a> which was expanded in 2019, is a modern, efficient and environmentally-friendly structure, with a large dining room facing the Lyskamm peak. As particular attention is paid to a correct impact on the environment, the managers only use ceramic crockery and glassware. They also use eco-friendly detergents containing plant-based surfactants. The recent structural renovations have been made with the aim of increasing efficient eco-sustainability. The electricity used here is produced with solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
