Sendero

S11

From Stafal the trail climbs the Olen valley to the historic Col d'Olen (2,881 m), a pass between the Lys valley and Valsesia frequented since the 19th century by Monte Rosa climbers and scientists. Just below the col stands the Mosso Institute, a high-altitude physiology laboratory active since 1907. The steady, ever-scenic ascent leads into a high-mountain amphitheatre dominated by the Punta Gnifetti and the Corno del Camoscio, with the great glaciers of Monte Rosa's southern side.

Ciencias de la Tierra

Geología y paisaje

Geologically this is the heart of the Monte Rosa nappe: gneisses and granites of European continental crust, wrapped in the greenstones (serpentinites and prasinites) of the ancient Alpine ocean, today shaped by the Lys glaciers.

Historia y cultura

The valley is home to the Walser, Alemannic settlers who came down from Valais in the 13th century over the glacier passes of Monte Rosa: in Gressoney the Töitschu language, the timber-and-stone houses (stadel) and the German place names that dot the mountain still survive.
