Description of the route
From the end of the paved road in Stafal, in the municipality of Gressoney-La-Trinité, go up the valley on the orographic left bank, along the trail signposted 7.
When you get to the lower edge of the left moraine of the Lys glacier, turn right to the path signposted 7C, which winds steeply up into a small valley that reaches the pastures of Salza Inferiore ( 2321 m).
Continue up the steep slopes alternating with short flat shelves in the valley, closed on the southside by the crags of Punta Teltscho, as far as Col Salza.
From the hill follow a short section of route 6A until, afar a steep section, you reach a fork. Go left along trail 7C until you reach the top of Alta Luce in a short time, from where you can enjoy an excellent view of the glaciers of Mount Rosa.
