Trilho

S20

The climb to Lake Gabiet (2,340 m) is the great classic of Gressoney-La-Trinité, suitable also for fit families: the trail mounts the Salza glacial step through larch woods and boulder fields to the lake basin, dammed and dominated by the icefalls of the Lys glacier. It is a privileged balcony over the Lyskamm and the Punta Gnifetti, and a hub for the Col d'Olen, the Gabiet hut and the area's high-altitude trails. Up high, alpine flora — gentians, alpenrose, saxifrage — accompanies the whole climb.

Geologia e paisagem

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.

História e 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.
