How it unfolds.
Meeting point in Pont, Valsavarenche. After a brief briefing and a thorough equipment check, ascent to Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele II at 2735 m, with overnight stay at the refuge. Elevation gain: 745 m.
Early departure from the refuge with skis on, initially crossing the glacial moraines. As the ascent continues, the slopes become steeper, then soften near the "donkey’s back". The final snow slope is crossed, which, depending on the mountain conditions, can be tackled with crampons. From here, using crampons and roped together, we ascend the final rocky section leading to the Madonna statue at 4061 m. The return is made skiing along the same route as the ascent. Elevation gain: 1326 m.
