One of our IFMGA certified guides wants to take you on a challenging 2 day ascent to the famous and beautiful Margherita Hut in the Alps of Italy.

2 Days

The Regina Margherita hut (4,554m) rests atop the Punta Gnifetti in the Alps of Italy. It is the highest building in all of Europe, and is also built with copper mesh, so to deflect electrical fields.
There are different routes one can take to reach the Margherita hut. However, on this trip, we will spend 2 days taking one of the more challenging ones. We will make the ascent via the Cresta Signal. This beautiful, but difficult route, will involve tough angles and jagged ridges. Hence requiring participants to already have mountaineering experience, and to be physical fit.
The first day of the journey will see us climbing almost 2,300 metres in altitude in the Alta Valsesia natural park. The landscape in this area is absolutely stunning, and the views are unforgettable. We will complete the day at the bivouac Resegotti hut (3,624m), where we will rest for the night.
For the second day, we will climb approximately 900 metres, manoeuvring through difficult terrain, until we reach the Margherita hut. Once we are at the hut, you will be given an amazing panoramic view that will allow you to see a huge portion of the Alps, including some of its most impressive peaks.
Finally, when you’ve stored enough images in your mind to last a lifetime, we will then make our way back down the Punta Gnifetti until we get to the ski lifts. From there, we will make our way to Alagna.
The Margherita hut is a precious treasure in the Italian Alps. And it would be my pleasure to guide you to it. If you want to join me, please send me a request.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
