Rise before dawn. Start by headlamp on your way to climbing to the summit of Gran Paradiso Peak (4061m)! A line of headlamps will likely light the way up the peak's standard route, which ascends a relatively easy glacier, punctuated by a few steeper sections. At one point, the route heads to the right around a series of seracs, as you make your way towards Becca di Moncorve, whose steep south face rises for several hundred meters above the talus. During the final part of the ascent, the short rocky ridgeline to the summit offers amazing views and exposure high above the east face. More than a few people have turned around when staring at the last few meters of climbing to reach the statue of the Virgin Mary on the summit proper.
On the descent, at a location referred to as the "donkey's back," we will veer off the standard route towards Laveciau Glacier's striking seracs. This detour leads past the north face of Gran Paradiso Peak, beneath Piccolo ("little") Paradiso, and then towards the Chabod Hut (2750m). From there, the descent continues to the bottom of Valsavarenche Valley. Transfer to Chamonix and part ways at the end of the afternoon.
