Sendero

S10

A demanding route from Staffal to Punta Telcio, a panoramic summit on the orographic left of the Lys valley. The long climb, with steep sections (EE), crosses abandoned alps and scree to the crest, from which the view ranges over the Monte Rosa chain, the Lys glaciers and, to the east, the Walser valleys. A lonely setting away from the lifts, for fit hikers.

Ciencias de la Tierra

Geología y paisaje

The bedrock is that of the Monte Rosa nappe — continental-crust gneisses and granites, greenstones of the Alpine ocean — carved and polished by the Lys glaciers, among recent moraines and roches moutonnées.

Historia y cultura

This is Walser country: the Alemannic settlers who crossed the Monte Rosa glaciers from Valais in the 13th century left Gressoney the Töitschu language, timber-and-stone stadel and the German names of the peaks.
