Description
Su questa cima si trova il rifugio pi alto d'Europa, la Capanna Margherita, interamente ristrutturata nel 1980: per raggiungerlo conviene prendere la funivia da Alagna per punta Indren (3200 m) e poi in un'ora giungere al rifugio Gnifetti (3647 m) per abituarsi allo sbalzo di quota. La mattina dopo in circa 4 ore si pu giungere in vetta per un ben evidente sentiero interamente su ghiacciaio. Panorama sensazionale!
