The perfect 4000m peak for those who dream of ski mountaineering at high altitude

At 4,061 meters, Gran Paradiso is the only 4000 m summit located entirely within Italy, and one of the most coveted destinations for ski mountaineering enthusiasts. The ascent unfolds in a majestic environment, in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park, among serene glaciers, quiet valleys, and breathtaking views of the entire Alpine arc.

With the Guides of Cervino, this climb becomes an unforgettable experience: safety, expertise, and passion will accompany you step by step, all the way to the famous statue of the Madonna on the summit.
