From our base camp in the Alagna Valsesia we took a series of cable cars up to Punta Indren at 3,200 metres. From here we climbed up to the Refugio Gniffetti sited at 3,647 metres. After a day acclimatising to the altitude by climbing Piramide Vincent (not featured in the video), we proceeded up to Europe's highest hut, the Margherita, at the summit of Signalkuppe (4,554 m) on the border of Italy and Switzerland. We bagged a couple more peaks on the 1,500m descent back to the cable car. We couldn't tackle Mont Blanc - the weather forecast for was high winds so we aborted our mission - gutted after such perfect preparation!!!
