Guide del Cervino Hut (3,480 m)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Guide del Cervino refuge is located in the Aosta Valley, in the Valtournenche valley, at 3,480 meters above sea level.
Built in Testa Grigia, right on the Plateau Rosa glacier, an excellent starting point for many mountain excursions: ascent of the Breithorn, Pollux, Castore and crossing of Monterosa. The structure can be reached from Breuil-Cervinia via the Matterhorn cable cars ski lifts or on foot in about 3 hours of walking and 1,480 meters of altitude.
Just a few meters from the refuge are the ski resorts of the Zermatt region: a fantastic opportunity to ski in winter and summer (summer skiing) using the refuge as a base.
Located on the Italian-Swiss border, the refuge is an important reference point for skiers, mountaineers and hikers who want to discover the magnificent mountains of the Aosta Valley and Switzerland.

Route to Breithorn

Highlight • Trail

Quite simple descent that winds between the glacier and the ski slopes. Route suitable for those approaching winter mountaineering or in any case with ice ax and crampons. To do roped to avoid falling into some crevasse. It would also be good practice to know the recovery maneuvers in the event of a fall. Not exaggerated height difference and magnificent panorama when you are at the top

Breithorn West Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Breithorn is a snow / ice summit, the ascent requires no technical difficulties and is pure diligence (condition). But the view from the summit is terrific
