The Pollux, rising to 4092 meters, is a peak of the Pennine Alps located between the Aosta Valley in Italy and the Valais in Switzerland. It is part of the Monte Rosa massif, and its twin peak is Castor. The ascent of Pollux is not too technical compared with other 4000ers in the region. Of course you need some experience, but it is a doable challenge for less than expert mountaineers. A 2-day ascent will involve spending the night at one of the classic huts. Alternatively, you can go for the 1-day ascent using the lift of the Klein Matterhorn. This ascent can be only one of the many adventures on a longer mountaineering trip!

During the summer 2016, Andrea guided us on Punta Castore in the Monte Rosa range from where we could enjoy breathtaking views on Mont Blanc, Matterhorn and Gran Paradiso. This adventure allowed us to discover the beautiful region of the Aosta Valley but also to share an amazing human adventure with a mountain guide who very well transmit his passion, the typical local kindness and the mountain values. We already booked Andrea for some future adventures !

Climbing the Castore and the Liskamm'Nose with Andrea has been a fantastic experience. Andrea is a skillful, friendly and knowledgeable guide. In addition to the spectacular traverse he offered us, he brought us to two very nice refuges (Mezzalama and Quintino Sella) where we spent a great time all together too. The traverse was full of speechless views, with a few tricky parts (sharp ridges, steep slopes, crevasses to avoid,...). I'm grateful to Andrea for having offered us the opportunity to achieve this challenge. I strongly recommend mountaineers to be guided by him.
