Monte Rosa - Signalkuppe - Signal Ridge (D)

2200m of height difference in 4/5 hours the first day to get to the capanna Resegotti at 3624 m; 900m in 6/8 hours the next day to reach the top of Punta Gnifetti at 4555 m where the Margherita refuge is located. These are the numbers of one of the most known ridges of Monte Rosa and which depict the kind of effort required by this route. The route is beautiful especially in the first part.
