Travel Program
Climb to the top
Meeting with the Mountain Guide in Alagna Valsesia at 7:00 o’ clock. After the check of the equipment you will go up with the cable car until P.ta Indren m 3273. From there you walk crossing the Indren Glacier towards the Roccette where some fixed ropes help to pass some easy rocky steps. Above this part starts the glacier and it's time to put the crampons on. At about 4000 meters a nice flat part of the glacier is the right place for a good break before the last part of the ascent. After the steeper final part the slope gets flat and in few steps you’ ll be on the top. The way down is on the same way
Walk up and down m 950 - About 5/6 hours
