Staffal and the Alta Luce summit

A circular loop that takes you to the Alta Luce summit with a view of the glacier and back down via the A Staffal/Greyssonney la Trinité cable car. The route is very well marked: follow several trails: 7a to the summit, then descend to the pass and take the 6b to the cable car that takes you back to the starting point.

Notes

  • For the return cable car, allow €9 (August 2025). On the 6b, you can stop at the Orestes Hutte refuge (vegan).

-At the summit, the trail is a little difficult to follow as you have to cross a huge rockfall and the painted markings are not very visible.
