Day 1: Meet your mountain guide around 10:00 AM. After checking your equipment, you will take an off-road taxi service to the Piani di Verra Superiori, where the trail to the Guide di Ayas hut begins. During the ascent, you may stop at the Mezzalama hut. The final section of the climb is equipped with fixed ropes. Overnight stay at the Guide di Ayas hut. Ascent: 3 hours 30 minutes, 1000m
Day 2: Departing around 6:00 AM, you will head toward the southwest ridge of Pollux, following it to the summit. You will return to the base of the ridge via the same route. From there, you will head back to the Guide di Ayas hut before continuing toward the Piani di Verra Superiori, where a jeep will take you back down to the valley. Ascent: 4–5 hours, 1100m Descent: 5 hours, 2100m

Meeting point: The meeting time is 10:00 AM, as agreed upon with the mountain guide.
Requirements: You should have experience with mountain hiking, including in exposed terrain. Technical mountaineering skills (specifically the use of crampons) are required. You should possess the physical fitness for an ascent of up to 5 hours, plus the corresponding descent.
Clothing: We recommend functional mountain apparel that effectively wicks away moisture; a multi-layer clothing system is advised so you can adapt to changing weather conditions.

Backpack: We recommend a backpack with a capacity of approximately 30–40 liters.

Wonderful trip to the Vincent Pyramid, organised in great detail by Giulia from the Monterosa guide office. Nice group and congratulations to the guide, Stefano Boy, very good, experienced, professional and helpful. Definitely an experience I will repeat next summer.

Fantastic experience thanks to the professionalism of Giulia, who patiently provided us with all the information we needed for our climb to the Vincent Pyramid. Poldo, our guide, played his role perfectly and made our first experience above 4000 metres unforgettable.

What can I say, my friend and I had a very good time with our guide Luigi. Young, capable, nice and very adaptable.

We had a great one-day ski tour with Daniele the day before the lockdown. Our group had different fitness and ability levels, but Daniele took good care of everyone. We will be back next year!
