Itinerary description
Took the lift from Aosta to pila, and then from pila to chamole. Tried to complete hike in 1 day (first lift up, last lift down), which was impossible. We missed the lift by quite a margin, even with Supreme fitness and quite some running.
On paper the hike looks doable in a day (distance + elevation gain), however, the last 500m ascent is near vertical, requiring hands and feet to get up. Speed here was under 1 km/h, same for the way down.
In two days (sleeping at the refuge), the hike is quite nice. On the top of the Emilius views of all the big giants in the alps; Mont blanc massif, grand Combin, grand Paradiso, Matterhorn etc. Breathtaking.
