Description

A refuge on top of the mountain? It does exist! The Capanna Margherita was built in 1893 as a lodge/ laboratory to study medicine in high heights conditions.
Nowaday it probably is the most famous lodge on the Alps and it’s reached by several hundreds of hikers each year.
The ascent to the Capanna Margherita happens in two days starting from Alagna or Gressoney.
The first day, using the Monterosa Ski lifts and with a short hike of around an hour, you’ll reach the  refuge Città di Mantova, 3560 mts hight.
On the second day we set on the road slightly before dawn on the glacier and we slightly climb up. As the ascent goes on the landscape turns greater and you’d feel small compared to the surrounding tops.
In around 5 hours you reach the Capanna Margherita, crowning the ascent with a good breakfast inside the historic building.
We’ll climb down in a laid-back way that will bring us back to the departing lodge and to the ski lifts in the early afternoon.

Night at Capanna Margherita

The unique experience of admiring dawn and sunset from one of the highest top in Europe. In this case the ascent will take 3 days with an extra 350€ per group.
