WHY THIS CLIMB
Conquer the Cevedale
Two days on the glacier, in the heart of the Stelvio.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Rifugio Forni, at the foot of the snowbound giants of the Stelvio National Park, and climb to Rifugio Pizzini, a historic base among these mountains, where we spend the night.
Day 2. A start in the middle of the night, roped up on the glacier, to the summit of Monte Cevedale: airy crests, eternal silence and a view that repays every step. Then the descent to the valley.
5 reasons to come - the summit of the Cevedale, close to 3,800 metres - the night at Rifugio Pizzini - the glacier crossed roped up, at dawn - the snowbound giants of the Stelvio park - a step forward in the Road to 4000 project
Who it suits Glacier mountaineering: good fitness and the will to take on high altitude are needed.
Real mountains, made of breath and effort: set off with the Guidders.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Build up to altitude gradually: in the weeks before, do outings above 2,000 m, sleep well the two nights before and arrive hydrated. Headache or nausea on the way up: tell your guide straight away, it's not a weakness
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Crampons, ice axe, harness and helmet (rent them if you don't have them, your guide will show you how they work), warm gloves plus a spare pair, glacier glasses, high-factor sunscreen, a thermos and energy bars: we set off before dawn. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
