At 3,498 meters on Monte Rosa, Mantova Refuge is more than just a stop: it’s the threshold where real mountaineering begins. Managed by Gressoney Mountain Guide Paolo Comune, it represents the ideal place for acclimatization toward Capanna Margherita.

For 700 years, Monte Rosa has guarded one of Italy’s most important gold deposits. From the first extractions in the 13th century to the industrial boom of the 1800s, until the tragic closure in 1961: the fascinating story of gold that still sleeps beneath the rocks of the Anzasca and Antrona valleys, waiting for a new gold rush that may never come.
Mountains are changing—not just because of the climate, but because of how we live them. Leave No Trace is more than a practice: it’s a mindset. In this guide, we explore how to climb without leaving traces, how to respect wildlife and locals, and how to reconnect with the essence of the mountain. Because the summit is not the goal. The journey is.
It’s not absence, but presence. Monte Rosa’s mountain silence is filled with truth, awareness, and a new slowness. A journey to rediscover yourself through nature.
Monte Rosa is not just a mountain, it’s a living tale of ice, stone, and life beyond the clouds. In this article, we’ll guide you through its awe-inspiring peaks, its rare animals and flowers, and the fascinating stories that echo through its valleys. A journey of discovery in the heart of the Alps.
Some mountains you climb once in a lifetime, and they stay with you as memories. Then there are others that call you back, again and again, each time teaching you something new. For me, Lyskamm is one of those. A mountain that never lets itself be fully known, but always welcomes you with something different.
Climbing Mont Blanc from the Gonella Hut is an old-fashioned act—one of slowness, silence, and respect. It follows a clean line that cuts through the heart of the massif, far from the crowds and the buzz of more popular routes.
