Capanna Margherita, Punta Gnifetti
Hiking Trail
Hard
1.29 mi
909 ft
A journey in Monte Rosa to a lofty summit.
Capanna Margherita is the highest refuge in Europe, it is built at 4554m and it's a destination that lots of people want to reach to gaze at the amazing mountains that surrounds this place. It's also a good destination for a "one day" ski trip and to enjoy really good snow even in summer. From Indren to Capanna Margherita it's 1300m circa of vertical drop that you can ski without too much trouble and without any steep or exposed area. It's a really nice ski tour! The last few meters to reach the refuge requires walking a bit with crampons Although this seems easy be aware that you're on a glacier! Crevasses could be open and you need to cross some. So technical skills and equipment are required! Written by FATMAP Official
