Descrição

Pontos-chave

Partida

Gressoney-Saint-Jean · 1399 m

Chegada

Lago Gabiet · 2364 m

From Gressoney-Saint-Jean follow the Lys valley through Walser villages to Gressoney-La-Trinité, then climb steadily to the lake and Rifugio Gabiet (2,375 m), below the icefalls of the Lys glacier.

You set off from the Walser capital among the dark timber houses of Obre Platz and head up the Lys valley floor past Savoy Castle, beloved of Queen Margherita, and the hamlets of Tschemenoal and Orsia. From Gressoney-La-Trinité the climb gets serious: trail 6 mounts the Salza glacial step through larch woods and boulder fields to the Gabiet lake basin, closed by its dam. The hut looks one way into the Olen valley, the other at the Lys icefalls: at sunset the Lyskamm wall glows pink. Water and refreshment points all along the stage.

Geologia e paisagem

Aosta Valley flank of Monte Rosa: gneiss and micaschists, Lys glaciers and Holocene moraines. Walser culture in Gressoney.

História e cultura

Gressoney is the southernmost of the Walser colonies founded by Alemannic settlers from Valais in the 13th century: the Töitschu language, timber houses on stone bases and German place names survive to this day.

Pontos de água

Water at the stage's support points (Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Rifugio Gabiet, Lago Gabiet). On the high ground and at the passes springs are not guaranteed: fill bottles in the valley and at the huts.
