Activities
The Climb to Polluce peak, nestled in the Verra Glacier between Roccia Nera and Castore, offers a breathtaking mixed-terrain climb. The base camp for the ascent is the Lambronecca Refuge, a true eagle’s nest perched at the edge of the Verra Glacier.
This climb requires knowledge of ice progression techniques, the use of an ice axe and crampons, as well as basic rock climbing skills. Fixed ropes, placed at strategic points, ensure safety during the ascent. Once at the summit, the view of the Matterhorn and the entire Monte Rosa range is extraordinary. Climbing Polluce is an experience that combines technical skills, magnificent landscapes, and the rewarding achievement of conquering a towering 4000-meter peak.

IMPORTANT: A sleeping bag liner is mandatory in all mountain huts. We recommend bringing a lightweight, reusable liner to help reduce waste in the mountains.
We use this one.
Mountaineering, ski touring, off-piste skiing and trekking take place in a natural, uncontrolled environment.
Weather conditions, snow, ice, terrain, visibility, altitude and physical fatigue can change rapidly and directly affect the course of the activity. For this reason, there is always an inherent level of objective risk, which cannot be eliminated but only managed.
All our activities are led by IFMGA Mountain Guides and Certified Hiking Guides (AMM).
The guide continuously assesses environmental conditions and the physical and mental state of participants, sets an appropriate pace, manages progression and ensures the correct use of equipment. If conditions require it, the guide may modify the itinerary or interrupt the activity, always in the interest of individual and group safety.
Participants are required to be in good physical and mental condition, adequately prepared for the level of the activity, and to follow the guide’s instructions at all times.
Group activities
During group outings, the pace is set according to the slowest participant. In case of fatigue or discomfort, the guide may decide to adjust the programme or return early. In the mountains, the group ascends and returns together.
