The Eastern Lyskamm is located along the border line between Italy (Aosta Valley) and Switzerland (Canton of Valais). The trip includes an overnight stay at the Mantova refuge, from where you can admire the south wall and its offshoot which takes the name of Naso del Lyskamm. The first part of the itinerary leads near the Lys hill, from which you point to the rocks of the Discovery and finally along the snowy ridge to the tip.
