Guide del Cervino

The Guide del Cervino Hut is situated in a unique setting, on the slopes of the Plateau Rosa, in the Testa Grigia area, at an altitude of 3.480 m., nestled directly amidst the silence and majesty of the glacier.

From here, the door opens to extraordinary mountaineering adventures: the Breithorn, Polluce, Castore and the Monte Rosa traverse are just some of the destinations within reach. All around, a spectacular panorama embracing the Plateau Rosa glacier, the Valtournenche and the Zermatt valley, offering unforgettable experiences.

Situated on the border between Italy and Switzerland, the refuge is a meeting point for those who love the mountains in all their forms: skiers, mountaineers and walkers will find here a special place from which to set off to discover the Alpine wonders between the Aosta Valley and Switzerland.
