Sustained climb to Col du Loson, the highest point on the entire VdA High Route system, and descent to Rifugio Vittorio Sella.
Alta Via 2’s big day: 1,600 metres of steady climbing on the Levionaz royal mule track to the Col Lauson (3,296 m), the Park’s highest hiking pass, with a final stretch on equipped ledges. Ibex are near-guaranteed around the Levionaz ranger hut. The descent to Rifugio Vittorio Sella crosses the Lauson plateau, where whole herds graze at sunset.
