| Didier and I, sharing leadership, left Refugio Vittori Emanuele II and switched to the Ghiacciao del Laveciau route and reached both the traditional "Madonna" and the actual summit, farther north, in a perfect weather day. | |

| Greg Garrard | Route Climbed: Normal Route Date Climbed: 25 August 1998 | |
| I hiked this mountain in the summer of 1998 as a member of 'Alpine Ram', a 15 man British Army Expedition climbing in France and Italy. It was truly the highlight of our trip. After a very early start from Rifugio V Emanuele, we summited at approximately 11:OOam. There was only light low lying cloud in the valleys, so we had a fantastic panoramic view, with Mont Blanc off in the distance. I would highly recomend this to anyone who is going to be in the area, and are looking for a rewarding challenge. | |

| folaerts | Route Climbed: Normal - alternative 2005 Date Climbed: 5 september 2005 | |
| Very nice 4000m peak, our first one. The normal route was very iced, so we climbed up the morene to the left of the normal route and had a very nice walk up to the Gran Paradisio glacier. Reached the summit in 4 hours and were the first on top that day. This ment no trafficjam on the summit! The view is superb !!! Mont Blanc, Mont Viso, etc.. Jack and Filiep from Belgium. | |

| Very nice mountain in a beautifull national park. The weather here in Italy was very good instead of the bad weather in Chamonix. Our original plan was to climb the Mont Blanc but this one was a very good alternative. Not so high but in a splendid environment with no big tourist attractions! It was only a pitty that the top was very crowded due to the bad weather in the Western Alps. We staid in as well Victor Emannuel and the Chabot hut but the latter is definitely the best one to stay! | |

| A long hard day, cold and windy, but also my first alpine four-thousander. It was a pity not to have more time to enjoy the summit sights, but... By the way: yes, I shared this climb and the rope with Rafa Bartolome (in case no-one had imagined so) | |

| erik_ravenstijn | Route Climbed: normal from vittorio emmanuele II Date Climbed: 2-may-2005 | |
| Reached the summit from Vittorio Emmanuele in 4,5 hours. Nice tour. Beautifaul environment. And alone on the summit with my climbing mate! Absolutely recommendable in spring, less people. We used snowshoes, that worked perfectly. So you don't need to be able to ski for this mountain in spring. See also: www.climbingtours.net | |

| Claude Mauguier | Route Climbed: normal Date Climbed: aug 28th 1986 | |
| Started from a bivouac place about 2900 m. high on the right bank of the glacier. Got first to the top that day, fine weather, a lot of people were to get there, as usual. Stayed a while on Becca di Moncorvé, nearby and had a quiet nap... | ||
