Description of the route
The start of the trail can be reached with the Punta Jolanda chairlift. To know the opening times and for further information, please contact the Monterosa Ski S.p.A.
From the centre of Gressoney-La-Trinité, reach the historic Punta Jolanda chairlift located just outside the centre of the village in the direction of Stafal. In a few minutes, you’ll reach the upper station of the lift, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view over the Gressoney Valley. Take a break at the Bar Restaurant Punta Jolanda and, from there, take path no. 5, which first climbs and then reaches a second, almost flat section that leads to the Gabiet artificial lake. To get to the other side of the valley, descend and then climb back on the path near the lake. Once on the other side, near the group of houses, head towards the dam and follow the flat path, with beautiful views towards the Piramide Vincent (4215 m). Once at the bottom of the lake, climb to the wide pass behind which the Gabiet mountain hut, the destination of the itinerary, is located.
