Activities
The Soldier’s Ridge is an exciting hike, perfect for those with alpine experience who want to challenge themselves on a ridge.
The route is varied and never overly exposed. It’s not too difficult, but also not trivial, offering a perfect combination of challenge and spectacular views. Every step will test your skills and allow you to admire the breathtaking scenery above 4,000 meters. It’s a great way to see if you’re ready for bigger challenges, like Dufour or the Lyskamm ridge, which you can view from the summit of the Vincent Pyramid.
Climbing a high mountain ridge requires training and acclimatization to altitude, regardless of the route’s difficulty.

Elevation gain: 786m (1215m)
Difficulty: AD, if continuing to Vincent Pyramid PD+
Max Participants: 2

At 8:30 AM, meet with the guide at the Passo dei Salati for equipment checks and distribution of any missing materials. We’ll start on foot toward the historic Punta Indren cable car. The trail leads up the southern slope of Punta Giordani, where we ascend along the Soldier’s Ridge, tackling sections of difficulty 3/4 until we reach the summit of Punta Giordani.
From Punta Giordani, the route continues along the ridge to the Vincent Pyramid, featuring fun boulder climbing sections.
After ascending the Vincent Pyramid on the southwest face, we will descend via the standard route. The descent is easy, with moderate slopes.
Technical Equipment
A few days before departure, the guide will contact you to specify the required gear based on weather and forecasted temperatures.
Important Accessories
If you have doubts about the necessary equipment, click here! You will find a detailed guide and links to products recommended by the Monte Rosa Guides.
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.
