Crossroads for the top of Testa Grigia, you can take the path from the Ayas valley or from Gressoney

Colle Pinter, at 2,777m, is a pass that connects the Ayas Valley with the Lys Valley, marked by the imposing stone man who greets hikers. Traveling along the AV1, you climb between alpine lakes and scree slopes, up to this natural balcony where the view embraces valleys, glacial peaks and, on clear days, the majestic skyline of Monte Rosa.

The air is thin, the silence is heavy: in addition to its landscape value, Pinter is the root of the route towards Bivacco Lateltin or Testa Grigia, a high-altitude crossroads that leaves a deep emotional mark. A place to savor step by step, ideally sipping a sip of water and stopping to contemplate the Alpine immensity.
