ACTIVITIES-ALPINISM
castor & pollux
This two day trip venturing along the border of Switzerland and Italy, is a great follow up if you have for example summited Breithorn. The approach to Pollux is a long and beautiful hike over the glacier. The ascent involves a rock climb on Pollux, the smaller “brother” of the two twin mountains. Castor will give you a good thrill with its knife edge snowy ridgeline.
The overnight stay will be in the Ayas hut with its cosy Italian ambience.
