Basic Snow and Ice Climb
This mountain lies a couple of km to the north of Monte Rosa (Dufourspitze 4634m); the second highest mountain in the Alps, and has the largest (ice) face of the Alps. Cima di Jazzi is more modest in hight, and from the Swiss side not very impressive. Here it is part of a huge flattened ice-ridge, of which comes the second largest glacier in the Alps, the Gornerglacier. It is easily accessible, and that is why un experienced climbers are no rare visitors of this mountains. You can get in a lot of trouble because the visibility is the worst in the entire Alps. The reason why is the huge temperature difference between Monterosa(4634m) and the nearby Po-valley( below 200m in height), which causes a lot of clouds; if you have not much experience, please hire a guide in Staffa/Macugnaga. The most common way to reach the summit is from the Italian side. When you reach the end of the Belvedere-glacier, there is a path over the Alpe Roffel, and then over the Jazzi-glacier at approximately 2800m to the E.Sella Cabin (3029); less than a km from the Swiss border. Then over the Roffel-glacier( steeper) to a pass Neues Weisstor 3490m, on the border. Then the summit can be reached in about an hour (Ice /snow only.From the east, southeast, and south are excellent climbing routes, drawback(?), you may have to bivouac.
