Sendero

S6

From Staffal you climb the head of the Lys valley towards the Città di Mantova hut at the Lys (also known as Rifugio del Lys), a classic base for the Monte Rosa four-thousanders. The trail crosses pastures, scree and moraines, with the icefalls of the Lys glacier ever closer and the Lyskamm wall dominating the basin. A high-mountain approach on a good path but in a severe setting: a must for those aiming at the Gnifetti and the Margherita hut.

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.
