    The Lys pass, at 4,246 meters above sea level, is a crossroads: from here you can continue towards Capanna Margherita along the normal route or reach the peaks of Ludwigshöhe and Punta Parrot (Parrotspitze). From here you have a beautiful view of the Lyskamm.

      Crucial junction on Monte Rosa. Here runs the border with Switzerland. This pass separates the basin of the Lys glacier, in Italy from that of the Grenzgletscher, in Switzerland. For those who climb to the Margherita Hut from Gniffetti or Mantova, this point is significant: from here you begin to see the goal!
