Monte Rosa

Por su historia, su posición y el panorama que ofrece, el refugio "Magherita" es uno de los destinos más apreciados entre los que aman la montaña. La subida al refugio es el ascenso más clásico y popular en el Monte Rosa.

La subida se desarrolla en un majestuoso entorno glacial. Desde el Colle del Lys, al aparecer de los primeros rayos de sol, la vista se pierde entre muchos de los picos más prestigiosos de los Alpes, con el Cervino (o Matterhorn) que destaca entre ellos.

• 1 noche en refugio de montaña (Capanna Gnifetti CAI), en media pensión (cena), 
• guía de montaña (dos días)
• billete del teleférico hacia / desde Punta Indren
• alquiler de equipo

 El precio no incluye:

• bebidas
• extras en el refugio
• almuerzo

Programa

Primer día

Alrededor de las 14:00, encuentro con el guía de montaña en Staffal. Después de revisar el equipo de los participantes, subimos a Punta Indren en teleférifo. Desde aquí, caminamos y llegamos fácilmente a la cabaña Gnifetti, donde pasamos la noche.
Subida: 1:00 hora - 370 m

Segundo día

Salida alrededor de las 5:00 a.m., según la época del año. Caminamos a lo largo del glaciar del Lys hasta el puerto del Lys (4.260 m), donde podemos parar a comer algo, beber y gozar de la vista. Frente a nosotros, la subida continúa, con el refugio Margherita aún muy lejos. Después de un corto descenso, cruzamos debajo del Parrotspitze y atacamos el ascenso al puerto Gnifetti. Desde aquí, nos enfrentamos a "Il Rivetto", el último esfuerzo de la escalada. En poco teimpo, alcanzamos el balcón de la cabaña. Volveremos por el mismo camino.
Ascenso: 3:30 / 4:30 horas, 950 m
Descenso: 3:00 horas, 1.300 m.

 From the Quintino Sella hut is not a long and difficult ascent; the last part is the most thrilling with a nice and curvy ridge that makes things more interesting.
