The perfect first 4000m, with the Cervino Guides
Gran Paradiso is a special summit, it is the only 4000 metre peak entirely in Italy, surrounded by stunning landscapes and located in the heart of the national park that bears its name.
It’s an ideal mountain both for those approaching high altitude for the first time and for those seeking a genuine adventure—glacier travel, panoramic ridges, and the thrill of a real summit.
With the Cervino Guides, the ascent becomes a safe, fascinating, and accessible experience, perfect as a first approach to the 4000ers of the Alps.
